The Max Planck Institute for Physics of Complex Systems in Dresden is
organizing a workshop and seminar on theoretical and experimental aspects of
novel transition metal compounds. These fascinating materials show rich and
unconventional electronic and magnetic behavior which is characterized by the
effects of strong electron correlations and low dimensionality. The
understanding of their properties demands the common effort of experts using
different theoretical methods and various experimental techniques.
The workshop (October 5 - 17) will consist of two parts. The first week will
have school character with invited tutorial lectures. The second week will be
a conference with invited lectures and poster presentations. During the
following research seminar (October 19 - 30) the participants (mostly from the
theoretical community) will have the opportunity to discuss common work and to
start or continue research activities in the field.
The main topics of the workshop are:
| A. Aharony | (Tel Aviv) |
| H. Alloul | (Paris) |
| B. Batlogg* | (Bell Labs) |
| D. Brinkmann | (Zürich) |
| A. V. Chubukov | (Madison) |
