Advanced computing of excited state properties in solids and nanostructures with Yambo – CECAM HQ 24-28 April 2017

Organisers Grüning Myrta, Hogan Conor, Marini Andrea, Molina-Sánchez Alejandro, Varsano  Daniele

Short report

The goal of this school, co-funded by CECAM and University of Luxembourg,  was to provide the participants with the theoretical and computational tools to study the excited properties of advanced materials and nanostructures. In the morning, the students followed lectures on the fundamentals of linear response and many-body perturbation theory together with more technical lectures on the implementation of the theory into first-principles approaches.  During the afternoon sessions (and the Friday morning Continue reading Advanced computing of excited state properties in solids and nanostructures with Yambo – CECAM HQ 24-28 April 2017
