                                           24-28 November 2014       PROGRAM     ESNT_workshop_DFTv13nov.pdf

 

Organizers:  Th. Lesinski, Th. Duguet (SPhN).

 

The goals of the workshop are to gather the community and allow us to:

1. discuss issues of conceptual foundations, formal development and construction strategies,
2. compare progress in various approaches and exchange ideas,
3.  find synergies and spur further collaboration.

In order to facilitate the understanding and involvement of young theorists and experimentalists, two lectures on

(i)  the historical development of energy density functional models, and (ii), the reasons for going back to pseudopotential-based functionals,

are included at the beginning of the workshop.
