Correlated Electrons in Transition-Metal Compounds:
New Challenges

International Workshop
5 - 9 November 2018

The aim of this workshop is to foster collaborations between scientists in the wide field of transition-metal compounds, to highlight recent developments, and to bring together experimental and theoretical physicists. The focus lies on the interplay and mutual frustration of electron-electron interactions (involving spin, charge, and orbital degrees of freedom) and spin-orbit coupling effects.

Topics include

  • Kitaev materials: iridates, RuCl3, and other TMCs
  • New theoretical tools - from DMRG to DMFT
  • Complex charge, spin, and orbital order
  • Extended first principles approaches
  • Skyrmions and chiral spin textures
  • Frustrated quantum magnetism
  • Novel 4d and 5d materials
  • Negative charge-transfer gap
  • High oxidation states
  • Multiferroicity
  • Orbital physics
