International Workshop "Insight from Band Structures"
Friday, July 27th 2018
Max Planck Institute for Solid State Research, Stuttgart, Germany
Werner Köster Lecture Hall (2R4)
Topic
Band structures describe the dispersion of single-electron energies in reciprocal space and their calculation provides an "ab-initio" method to investigate the electronic structure in crystalline solids. However, the relation of the band structure to concepts, such as the existence of quasiparticles or the notion of chemical bonds, can be challenging. This workshop shows how to untangle the band structure and thus access a physical understanding of solids. Furthermore, new developments in band structure theory will be presented.
