Dear all, we are pleased to announce that the CECAM/RMN-GBP Tutorial: Calculation of Solid-State NMR and EPR Parameters Using the GIPAW Method
will take place from October 7th to 11th, 2013 at ETH Z?rich. The purpose of the tutorial is to introduce the computation of NMR and EPR spectra to the participants. After the tutorial they will be able to calculate NMR and EPR interaction parameters of their interest. The tutorial consists of lectures and hands-on terminal sessions. We shall use the DFT-GIPAW package implemented in the Quantum Espresso package (http://www.Quantum-ESPRESSO.org/). The tutorial is targeted to both NMR and EPR experimentalists and theoreticians wanting to calculate NMR and/or EPR properties, and it contains: * Short review of the theoretical background of DFT-GIPAW * Basics of experimental NMR and EPR and introduction to the measurement of those parameters * Use of the Quantum ESPRESSO package and the main steps for performing reliable NMR and EPR calculations of chemical shift, electric field gradient tensors, g tensor * Calculation of other experimental observables The number of participants is limited. Deadline for application to the tutorial is July 14th. To apply for the tutorial please go to the page http://www.cecam.org/workshop-868.html and sign up if you haven?t done it already, login in the Restricted User Area, go to the web page of the tutorial and press "Apply". Applications for participation, will be confirmed shortly after the closing deadline. There is no participation cost, the accomodation for the participants will be covered for five nights, and a small per diem is awarded to cover some of the local costs. The tutorial will begin on Monday afternoon after lunch and finishes on Friday afternoon.
