First-principles Green function formalisms: algorithms, method developments and applications to spinorbitronics and magneto-superconductivity
4-7 of September 2023, Athens, Greece
The WE-Heraeus workshop entitled “First-principles Green function formalisms: algorithms, method developments and applications to spinorbitronics and magneto-superconductivity” took place from 4-7 of September in Athens, Greece. After years of only online meetings, the generous funding by the Psi-k charity and the WE-Heraeus Foundation made it possible to bring together the ab-initio Green function community in person. This workshop fostered networking opportunities and important personal exchange among different groups of method developers in the ab-initio Green function community. This was further stimulated by the complementary coffee breaks and lunches that were served in the rooms of the Kostis Palamas building of the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens where the entire workshop took place.
The 49 participants from 25 Institutions (13 countries from three continents) made the workshop a complete success. In a mix of invited talks, contributed talks, poster presentations and round table discussions, the workshop offered a forum for lively discussions and exchange of ideas in the community in the field of Green’s function based first-principles approaches to magnetism, spintronics and superconductivity. The workshop started with sessions of spinorbitronics and superconductivity and continued with presentations on ultrafast dynamics, methods beyond DFT and aspects of next generation exascale computing. Furthermore, talks on complex magnetism and the connection between superconductivity and magnetism were covered in several invited and contributed talks. Throughout the workshop the participants of this workshop discussed aspects of method development, high-performance computing algorithms and data science challenges. Moreover, timely research topics on magnetotransport properties, magnetization dynamics and complex magnetism sparked the scientific exchange. Finally, also the aspect of superconductivity and the connection of superconductivity and magnetism let to lively exchange. The workshop concluded with round table discussions where important aspects for the future like future computing architectures, the importance of machine learning, sustainable code development and a roadmap for the next Green function workshop was discussed.
Overall, the participants expressed their satisfaction with the workshop and greatly appreciated the possibility to meet their peers for in-depth exchange and networking within the world-wide ab-initio Green function community.
