Overview

While structural properties of materials are mainly determined by the static electronic ground state, the response to external probes in modern nondestructive spectroscopies must be explained in terms of dynamic excitations. The knowledge of excited states is a fundamental step for the design of materials for technological or medical applications, since it is intimately linked with experimental characterisation. The aim of the Workshop is to assess the present status of ab initio approaches for the spectroscopic properties of finite and infinite systems, to establish links between scientists from different communities working on excited states, and to develop and promote new solutions.
