International Workshop on Strong Correlations
and Angle-Resolved Photoemission Spectroscopy
Coming from 19 nations, 143 experts in the field of photoemission met at Zurich for the CORPES09 organized by the Paul Scherrer Institut (PSI) in Villigen. CORPES09 is an interdisciplinary workshop situated at crossroads between angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) measurements and many-body theories of strongly correlated electron systems.
Since its discovery more than a hundred years ago, the photoelectric effect continues to fascinate experimental as well as theoretical physicists. Today, photoemission spectroscopy is appreciated as one of the most elementary tools to study the single particle excitations of a wide range of correlated electron systems. Electronic interactions in these systems leave their fingerprints in the experimentally recorded energy-, momentum- and spin-resolved spectrum. Advances in experimental instruments (e.g. new photon sources, time-resolved measurements), progress in theory (e.g. continuous-time quantum Monte-Carlo algorithms, matrix element and final state effects) and new materials (e.g. high-temperature superconductors, heterostructures containing correlation-induced (Mott) insulators or systems with controlled structures on the nanometer scale) have been the main driving forces for CORPES09.
CORPES09 follows the scope and motivation of the previous workshops CORPES05 and CORPES07 held at the MPIPKS in Dresden (Germany). In 2011, CORPES11 will take place at the ALS, Berkley (USA). COPRES09 was supported by: MaNEP, Diamond, SOLEIL synchrotron, Paul Scherrer Institut and industries (Ferrovac GmbH, MB Scientific AB and Specs).
