Single-Molecule Junctions in Strong Optical Fields

Seminar / Tue, 09/06/2015 - 10:00 - 11:00

Joachim Reichert (Physik Department, TU München, Germany)

In order to advance the development of unimolecular electronic devices (e.g. film devices) it is mandatory to improve understanding of electron transport and its loss mechanisms in single molecules. In this aspect, multi-parameter studies are required to provide more information on such systems.

Effects of thermal spin fluctuations on the electronic properties of itinerant magnets: Surprises from ab initio calculations

Seminar / Tue, 09/06/2015 - 15:00 - 16:00

Kirill Belashchenko (University of Nebraska-Lincol)

Abstract: Thermal spin fluctuations are present in equilibrium in all magnetic materials. These fluctuations interact with electronic quasiparticles and induce temperature-dependent changes in such observables as the spectral densities, magnetocrystalline anisotropy, and transport properties. This talk will review surprising examples of such effects in metallic magnets found using first-principles calculations. Spin fluctuations are included in these calculations within the vector disordered local moment model.

Angle-resolved photoemission spectra of Heusler alloys: Ni2MnGa as a case study

Seminar / Tue, 16/06/2015 - 15:00

Václav Drchal (Department of Condensed Matter Theory, FZÚ AV ČR, v.v.i.)

Abstract: We have calculated the electronic structure and angle-resolved photoemission spectra of Heusler alloys from first principles using the TB-LMTO method. The disorder, caused either by non-stoichiometry, or by swapping of atoms between sublattices is treated within the CPA. Matrix elements are included within the dipole approximation.

15th International Conference on Ferroelectric Liquid Crystals: Challenges in polar self-assembling systems (FLC–15)

Conference / Sun, 28/06/2015 - Fri, 03/07/2015

The series of International Conferences on Ferroelectric Liquid Crystals (FLC‘s) is devoted to basic and applied aspects of new self-assembling materials possessing chiral and polar structures and properties. These conferences have been organized in odd years in between International Conferences on Liquid Crystals.

Frontiers of Quantum and Mesoscopic Thermodynamics (FQMT’15)

Conference / Mon, 27/07/2015 - 08:00 - Sat, 01/08/2015 - 08:00

FQMT’15 is a follow-up to the four previous, successful Prague conferences "Frontiers of Quantum and Mesoscopic Thermodynamics". The title of the conference is traditional and reflects main topics of early FQMT conferences.

The conference is focused on

  • Non-equilibrium quantum dynamics
  • Mesoscopic and biological systems
  • Foundations of quantum physics
  • Quantum optics, cold atoms
