Dear All,
We are pleased to announce the school:

Computational School on Electronic Excitations in Novel Materials Using 
the Yambo Code

The school will take place from January 27 to January 31, 2020 at the 
International Center for Theoretical Physics (ICTP), Trieste.

The Computational School on Electronic Excitations in Novel Materials 
Using the Yambo Code will introduce participants to post-DFT simulations, 
in particular to many-body perturbation theory (MBPT) approaches and will 
provide training in the calculation of electronic and optical properties 
of materials.

The program will offer theoretical and technical lectures, as well as 
dedicated hands-on sessions where the students will learn the use of the 
Yambo code in a massively parallel environment and how to run 
post-processing tools for the analysis of the results. The main topics 
covered range from introductory lessons on MBPT concepts to more advanced 
topics in materials science. General topics include the diagrammatic 
approach, self-energy and quasiparticles, the GW approximation, linear 
response, and the Bethe-Salpeter equation. Strong focus is given on 
connection with experimental observables (from photoemission to absorption 
and photoluminescence). Advanced topics will address real-time 
spectroscopies, time-dependent polarization in terms of the Berry phase, 
computation of non-linear optical properties.

Participants are required to have a pre-existing background in DFT 
methods, including experience in running first principles simulations.

Due to the hands-on nature of the School, the number of participants is 
limited to the capacity of Adriatico Informatics Lab.

 
For more details and applications please follow this link:

Female scientists are encouraged to apply. 

Grants:

A limited number of grants are available to support the attendance of 
selected participants, with priority given to participants from developing 
countries. There is no registration fee 

Thanks to the generous contribution of the MaX CoE and Psi-K, 
accommodation in double room is provided at the ICTP Guest
Houses for all participants. Participants are free to upgrade at their 
own costs the accommodation to a single room accordingly to the ICTP Guest 
House rates.

Deadline:

For applications needing financial support and/or visa:  30 November 2019
For applications not needing financial support and/or visa: 15 December 2019
