KKR-workshop: new developments, applications, and collaborations
To: ESF Ψk-network
Date: 4 August 2003
Re: Application for financial support to organize a workshop entitled -
"KKR-workshop: new developments, applications, and collaborations"
Organized by
H. Ebert (University Munich, Germany) and
D. D. Johnson (University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, USA)
The goal of the workshop is to bring together Eureopean and United States researchers developing and applying KKR band-structure methods, especially to share recent advances and enhance international collaborations for methods and software development. It will be organized within the ESF Ψk-network together with the Materials Computation Center at the Frederick Seitz Materials Research Laboratory (University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, USA).
The topics of the workshop will emphasize the presentation of recent developments and their applications in the fields of:
- treatment of many-body effects: combination of KKR with SIC, GW, LDA+U, DMFT
- electronic transport
- electron spectroscopy
- treatment of low-dimensional systems free and deposited clusters, wires
- treatment of disorder effects: KKR with DMFT and its derivatives, e.g. non-local-CPA
- phase stability and transitions
The workshop will run for 3 days (presumably Friday to Sunday)
in fall 2003 or spring 2004 in Munich, Germany.
We ask for finacial support for 30 European participants.
accommodation and daily expenses 200 EURO
travel support 100 EURO
--------
total support 300 EURO x 30 = 9,000 EURO
===========
United States' participants will be supported by the MCC. As the MCC, and its sponsor, the National Science Foundation, are mindful of the desirability and need for enhancing diversity and support of under-represented groups, the travel support from the U.S. side will place emphasis on young faculty and researchers pursuing development and applications in KKR and related methods.
H. Ebert and D.D. Johnson
