We are running a workshop focusing on the ab initio study of magnetic materials.  Key topics include magnetic response calculations using the Lichtenstein formula, TDDFT or via DMFT, the applicability of (bilinear-) Heisenberg models for real materials and other theories at finite temperature, and (fast-) magnetisation dynamics.  Both the theoretical development of these methods and their practical implementation in computer codes will be discussed.  The current programme of speakers is listed below.

The workshop is funded by CECAM and Psi-k and will be held at CECAM HQ, Lausanne, 26-28 November 2018.  In addition to the invited speakers (the current list of speakers is given below), we have space for a further ~15 attendees, and we would very much welcome those with an interest in the theoretical and methodological development of the modelling of magnetic materials to contact us.  Please include a few lines describing your background.  We intend to finalise the list of attendees before the end of the summer, therefore please express your interest before 31 August.  We are hopeful that funding will be available for subsidising accommodation costs for all participants.

For more information, please see the CECAM page: https://www.cecam.org/workshop-0-1549.html , or feel free to contact us directly.
