Ab initio Spin-orbitronics (Psi-k/CECAM)

Dr. Silvia Picozzi (leading organizer), CNR-SPIN Chieti, Italy

The main purpose of this conference is to highlight the very recent theoretical and computational developments related to the interplay of spin-orbit interaction with electronic structure and magnetism, its link to topology, strongly correlated materials and ultrafast currents in diverse materials. We aim at discussing spin-orbit coupling as a means of engendering such fundamentally novel physical phenomena in exotic bulk materials, at surfaces and interfaces, in thin films and heterostructures. A brainstorm about concepts and ideas in less understood phenomena, such as orbital magnetism, is also planned.
