Due to the large number of posts recently, there is currently a delay of several weeks between posts being submitted and the corresponding emails being distributed to all users. Please bear with us while we try to improve this. In the meantime – and until this notice is removed – it would assist us considerably if you could submit only important and/or urgent posts and thus help to reduce the size of the mail queue. Under no circumstances should you resend posts multiple times when you find the emails are not distributed immediately.
In light of the Russian military offensive in Ukraine, we request that announcements relating to events, jobs and other activities associated with institutions supported by the Russian and Belarusian states are not posted to the Psi-k forum.

Back to Event listings...
Dear Colleagues,
We would like to highlight the APS Focus Session 16.01.13 "Ultrafast Dynamics From Electron-Phonon Interactions", organized by Marco Bernardi, Oleg Prezhdo, and Michael Sentef.
We encourage abstract submissions by October 20 for contributed talks.
This session focuses on first-principles techniques to model ultrafast / nonequilibrium dynamics in materials, particularly when electron-phonon and related interactions are important. A full description follows below.
We look forward to an exciting symposium featuring cutting-edge theory and computational methods to model materials out of equilibrium.
Best regards,
Marco Bernardi (on behalf of all the organizers)
16.01.13 "Ultrafast Dynamics From Electron-Phonon Interactions"
Electron-phonon interactions have become a key research area in first-principles electronic structure calculations. Recent work has focused on non-equilibrium dynamics of electrons and phonons under external excitations, for example by optical or THz laser pulses, which can directly drive electrons, excitons, and phonons. Methods to characterize the resulting ultrafast dynamics range from the real-time Boltzmann equation to time-dependent DFT to nonequilibrium Green's function, with the recent addition of data-driven methods. These approaches can shed light on femtosecond to picosecond dynamics in materials and aid the interpretation of ultrafast pump-probe spectroscopies. This symposium will bring together multiple subcommunities from physics, chemistry, and materials science focusing on different aspects of this problem, with the dual goal of cross-fertilizing method development and closing the gap between simulations and experiments.
