Dear Colleagues,<br>
<br>
The registration to the WIEN2k workshop and to the ICAMM 2010
conference is now open. Please point your web browsers to

<br>
<b><u>Scope of the WIEN2k Workshop (July 5-7, 2010):</u></b><br>
<br>
This 17th WIEN2k workshop deals with density functional (DFT)
calculations using the (full-potential) Augmented Plane Wave plus Local
Orbitals (APW+lo) method as embodied in the WIEN2k code. WIEN2k is one
of the most popular electronic structure codes used to perform
calculations with the Full Potential LAPW method. The workshop is a
unique opportunity to learn the use, power and limitations of the
package with the tutoring of the authors and developers of the code.
The activities will be aimed at graduate students and researchers from
industry and academia. The only pre-requisite is to have a basic
knowledge of solid state physics, and chemistry.<br>
<br>
<b>The workshop covers three aspects:</b><br>
- Introduction to DFT, APW+lo, and WIEN2k<br>
- Applications using WIEN2k code (and related methods)<br>
- Lectures on and exercises with WIEN2k<br>
<br>
<u><b>Scope of the ICAMM Conference (July 8-10, 2010):<br>
<br>
</b></u>This conference will be the first of a bi-annual series aimed
to gather scientists working in the field of theoretical chemistry and
physics, and who are interested in:<br>
- Using various calculation methods in order to understand the
properties (optical, electronic, magnetic, ferroelectric,
piezoelectric, multiferroic, catalytic, photovoltaics) of advanced
materials having various applications in the field of energy storage
and conversion, memories, optoelectronics…;<br>
- Codes developments (WIEN2k, VASP, FHI-AIMS, CASTEP, ABINIT, SIESTA,
Quantum ESPRESSO, OCTOPUS …) and new implementations in semi-empirical
and/or first-principles approaches;<br>
- Simulating electronic, optical and vibrational spectroscopies (XAS,
EELS, XPS, IR/Raman, NMR …).<br>
