VII Training Course in the Physics of
Correlated Electron Systems and High-Tc Superconductors
Vietri sul Mare (Salerno) Italy
14 - 25 October 2002
First Announcement: General Information
SCIENTIFIC BACKGROUND (AN INTRODUCTION):
Experimental and theoretical research in the physics of strongly correlated electron systems has been growing more and more in the last few years. The complexity of the problem of correlations in electronic systems makes the field intrinsically interdisciplinary, requiring an international coordination for the achievement of reliable results. The School, which is aimed at graduate and PostDoc researchers, will offer the possibility to meet, in one setting, various experts from different physics areas, all relevant to the investigation of strongly correlated electron systems. The proposed project of practical training courses intends to promote the theoretical research in the field of highly correlated electron systems by putting together senior researchers with an outstanding experience and young researchers.
The course will be opened to a limited number (30) of young (aged under 35)
researchers. The registration fee, which cannot be absolutely waived, will be $300 (€330). The staying expenses (accommodation and meals costs) will be of the order of $900 (€1000). A limited number of grants to cover the staying expenses will be assigned, upon request, to accepted participants that do not have any other source of funding.The young researchers will benefit from training in scientific techniques and various methodologies under the guidance of 4 highly qualified senior researchers:
Professor Natan Andrei
Department of Physics and Astronomy
Rutgers University
Piscataway, NJ, USA
Professor Fakher F. Assaad
ITP III, Universitaet Stuttgart
Max Plank institute for solid state research
Stuttgart, Germany
Professor Jozef T. Devreese
Departement Natuurkunde
Universiteit Antwerpen
Antwerpen, Belgium
Professor Yuri Izyumov
Mathematical and Theoretical Physics Department
Institute of Metal Physics of the Russian Academy of Sciences
Ekaterinburg, Russia
TOPICS:
Professor Natan Andrei: Non-perturbative approaches to Quantum Impurities.
Professor Fakher F. Assaad: The numerical approach to correlated electron systems.
Professor Jozef T. Devreese: Polarons and superconducting oxides & Electron-bubbles in Helium.
Professor Yuri Izyumov: Basic models in the theory of magnetism and strongly correlated systems (diagrammatic technique and generating potential approach).
A detailed bibliography related to the topics of the Training Course will be sent with second circular. This is to favor a background preparation for further discussion and operative research activity. The most relevant scientific results of the project should be the training of young scientists by means of training through research; the establishment of European co-operation through transnational mobility; the integration in a common development line of several diversified researchers.
LOCATION:
Vietri (from Veteri, its ancient Roman name) sul Mare (on sea) is located within walking distance from Salerno and marks the beginning of the Amalfi Coast. It is situated five minutes by car from Salerno, one hour from the Naples Airport and three hours from the Rome Airport. Short rides take Positano, Sorrento, Herculaneum, Pompei, Paestum, Vesuvius or, by boat to the islands of Capri, Ischia, Procida.
