Dear all,
I would like to draw your attention on the following tutorial about the yambo code: Hands-on Tutorial on Excited State Spectroscopy: GW and BSE using the Yambo code to take place in Rome, Italy, 7-9 May 2014 The school is aimed at PhD students, post-docs, and researchers and will provide training in the calculations of electronic and optical properties of materials by means of many body perturbation theory (MBPT). Topics will cover fundamental concepts of MBPT as well as commonly used approximations to calculate quasiparticle properties (GW) and optical spectra (Bethe-Salpeter equation). Hands-on tutorials using the Yambo code will form an essential part of the school and will train the attendees step by step from the ground state calculations to more advanced calculations of electronic and optical properties of real materials. Further information, preliminary program, and list of lecturers can be found on the school website: http://www.yambo-code.org/events/roma2014/index.php The deadline for registration (compulsory) is 16th March 2014. The number of participants is restricted to about 20 students. Accepted participants will be informed by 19th March 2014. A limited number of fellowships are available to fully cover the accommodation and food costs for the participants. Fellowship request has to be marked on the registration form.
