Dear wien2k users,
This is a reminder about our wien2k workshop in June.
Following the many questions on the mailing list, I can only very much
recommend that beginners of wien2k try to participate on this workshop.
It will give unexperienced users (in particular working in groups
without experience in DFT and wien2k) a unique opportunity to get
familiar with a complex package like wien2k. It will shorten the time
you need for your PhD and lay the basis for a successful PhD work.
Both, the theoretical lectures, but in particular the hand-on sessions,
where you can also work on problems of your personal interest and get
help by experts, will definitely be of great value for you.

25th WIEN2k-workshop
Boston College, Boston, US, 12-16.June 2018
(For more details and registration visit http://bc.edu/wien2k )
The 25th international WIEN2k workshop is a hands-on tutorial approach
to teach band structure calculations using WIEN2k, one of the most
popular (and one of the most accurate) DFT packages, to graduate
students and researchers from industry and academia.
The Workshop is aimed to both, theorists and experimentalists, because
many experiments require theoretical support or interpretations. The
only pre-requisite is to have a basic knowledge of solid state physics
and chemistry. It is planned as a four-day event and will present
introductory lectures and recent developments of electronic-structure
theory in materials science, solid-state physics, and computational
chemistry:
- The APW-lo band structure method
- Basic and advanced DFT
- Optical properties, core level spectroscopy, GW and BSE
- Magnetism and relativistic effects
- Structural model building (surfaces, supercells) and optimization
- Wannier fuctions and polarization (Berry phases)
- Hyperfine interactions (NMR, Mössbauer)
At least half of the time will be devoted for hands-on exercises to
satisfy the beginners and give them an easy start, while more advanced
users can seek advise on their own problems and discuss with the
developers of the WIEN2k package from the Technical University of Vienna.
Participants can present a poster of their accomplished or planned
research and have a great opportunity to get familiar with a
powerful package like WIEN2k.
Boston College is proud to organize this WIEN2k workshop from June 12 to
16, 2018 and welcomes all participants.
