Dear members of the Psi-k community,

We are happy to announce the Psi-k and ESI (Erwin Schrödinger Institute, Vienna) workshop:

Spin-orbit entangled Quantum Magnetism

September 23-27 2024, to be held at ESI in Vienna, Austria

https://www.esi.ac.at/events/e542/

Multipolar orders, quantum liquids, spin-orbit excitons, topological phases, fractional excitations that emerge from spin-orbital entanglement in materials have attracted enormous interest over the last two decades. A dynamic development of this field is boosted by experiments opening new venues, like, e.g., 2D materials, but also by synergy of many-body theories and realistic material modeling.

The goal of this workshop is to gather leading experts and younger researches on spin-orbit entangled magnetism from different domains – density functional theory, many-body methods and experimentalists – to review the current progress in the field and, most importantly, to foster the mutual collaboration and synergy between theory and experiments to address and define actual challenges and future research directions. Focus sessions on: double perovskites, hidden orders, Kitaev/honeycomb/pyrochlores systems, multiferroics, 2D magnets.
