Training School: Multiple Scattering Codes

TRAINING SCHOOL: MULTIPLE SCATTERING CODES
Date: June 27-30, 2016
Venue: Université de Rennes, France
The aim of this Training School is to introduce experimentalists and theoreticians to the multiple scattering framework for the descriptions of spectroscopies, so that they are able to run any multiple scattering code. The first day will be entirely devoted to the basic knowledge about multiple scattering theory. The next three days will involve hands-on on five different codes that model core-level spectroscopies:
* MXAN : to fit XAS data in terms of selected structural parameters from the edge to 250 eV, recovering in this way the complete geometry around the absorbing atom
* GNXAS : advanced software for EXAFS data analysis with a rigorous fitting procedure of the raw experimental data
* MsSpec : to model five different spectroscopies including photoelectron and Auger electron diffraction. REXS and EELS are under implementation and will be released soon
* FPMS : full-potential XAS calculations that can treat very large clusters. It is an ideal tool to study open systems (molecules, graphene, ...) when muffin-tin approximation fails
* MCMS : R-matrix multi-channel calculations of XAS spectra featuring in particular particle-hole multiplet effects
One specialized training session will be devoted to each code, with a sixth one free in order to allow trainees to go deeper into one of the codes.
Poster sessions will also take place and trainees are encouraged to bring one (or more) poster.
This training school is limited to 40 participants.
There is no registration fee. Trainees from COST countries belonging to the EUSpec Action and the two institutes from the Near Neighbour Countries involved in EUSpec can obtain some financial support according to the COST rules. This EUSpec training school will focus on codes using the multiple scattering framework to model core-level spectroscopies such as X-ray Absorption, Photoelectron Diffraction, Auger Electron Diffraction, or Auger Photoelectron Coincidence Spectroscopy.
