The 2007 school will focus on solid state physics. The main objective of the Theoretical User Lab (ThUL) within ACTINET is to promote the interaction between theory and experiment and mutual understanding of experimentalists and theoreticians. The ThUL organises schools open to a limited number of experimentalists and theoreticians working in the field of actinide physics. The 2007 school will focus on solid state physics, and will provide a general introduction to computational methods at the atomic scale, as well as present specific approximations relevant for the study of the properties of solid actinide compounds, such as relativistic effects, strong electronic correlations, and magnetism. The basics of various experimental methods (X-ray spectroscopies, measurement of thermodynamical data) will also be covered. The School will mainly consist of lectures on theoretical methods and experimental techniques. In addition, practical computer sessions and discussions of case studies directed by the lecturers should help the participants to improve their understanding of modelling approaches. Programme
Target audience This school is a training course designed for experimentalists and theoreticians who are interested both in the modelling of actinide compounds and their physical properties, and in their experimental characterisation. How can we improve coupling theoretical chemistry with X-Ray absorption spectroscopy? More information and the presentations of the ACTINET workshop on Actinide Speciation using XAFS organised in Avignon (France) in October 2007 can be found on the webpage of Joint project 07-07 in the section Education & Training.
