Strong electron correlation effects in complex d- and f-based magnetic materials for technological applications
Prague, –
Strongly correlated metals, alloys, oxides, their surfaces and interfaces continue to be very active research themes in condensed matter physics. These fields continue branching into increasingly wider areas of condensed matter, which involve spintronics, spin-orbit related effects, topological matter, magnetoelectric coupling, magnetic anisotropy, or multiferroicity.
It is widely recognized that first-principles calculations of strongly correlated materials are important for understanding their physical and chemical properties. The three-day workshop brought together theoreticians and experimentalists who discussed the correlated band methods based on a combination of the density functional theory and the dynamical mean-field theory.
The topics discussed during the workshop included:
- Interplay of strong electron correlations with spin-orbit related phenomena and with the effects of symmetry breaking due to the presence of surfaces and interfaces, such as magnetic anisotropy.
- Role of electron correlations in quantitative modeling of STM/STS, XMCD and RIXS/RXES spectra.
- Transport phenomena such as the spin-Hall effect, spin lifetime, spin-transfer torque, and spin-dynamics.
The program and abstract book (PDF, 1.5MB) is available for download.
