Correlations and dynamical screening with ab initio GW+EDMFT
Dr. Francesco Petocchi, Department of Physics, Universität Freiburg

In this talk I will introduce the core ideas of ab initio GW+EDMFT, and review the first multi-tier implementations that made the method promising for a broad set of correlated materials (metals[1], Mott insulators[2], and semiconductors[3]). I will briefly mention how the ...more

Experimental modelling of “single-atom” catalysts: What defines molecular adsorption on single-metal sites?
Zdenek Jakub, Central European Institute of Technology (CEITEC), Brno University of Technology, Czechia

“Single-atom” catalysis (SAC) presents a recent frontier in catalysis research, promising to lower our dependence on precious metals and improve the economic viability of carbon-neutral technologies. Countless SACs were reported over the past decade, but rational design remai ...more

Control and detection of broken time-reversal symmetry and Berry curvature with nonlinear optics
Prof. Giancarlo Soavi, Institute of Solid State Physics, Friedrich Schiller University Jena, Germany

TMDs are an ideal platform to study the interplay between space-inversion and time-reversal symmetries, which can be independently engineered by tuning the number of layers (space-inversion) and via excitation with circularly polarized light (time-reversal). In this talk, I will ...more

Magnetic Buoyancy – Learning from Satellite Observations of Magnetosphere
Dr. Evgeny Panov, Institut für Theoretische Physik - Computational Physics, TU Graz / Institut für Weltraumforschung, ÖAW

Magnetic buoyancy has been known to play a role in the solar atmosphere, where it brings slender flux tubes with reduced density up through much of the convective zone. Magnetic buoyancy does operate in planetary magnetospheres, where field line curvature takes the role of gravit ...more
