What:�A 2.5-day residential workshop that describes the background science of strongly correlated systems and�experiments to probe them.

Who:��1st and 2nd Year Physics postgraduate researchers working in�condensed matter physics.������

When:� 11-13 April 2018

Where:��Old Thorns�Manor Hotel, Liphook, Hampshire

Numbers:��Circa 25-30�delegates

No two researchers would ever completely agree on the definition of a strongly correlated system;�however they may very roughly be described as materials where the correlations between�electrons induced by interactions make the behaviour of the material �interesting�.

This interactive two-and-a-half day residential workshop is designed for PhD students who would�benefit from learning more about this subject. The course will consist of three short lecture�courses of three lectures each, covering both the theoretical concepts necessary to understand�strongly correlated systems, as well as how one would probe them experimentally. The course will�be self-contained, assuming only a knowledge of quantum mechanics and undergraduate level�solid state physics. It should therefore be beneficial to students working on both theoretical and/or�experimental projects.� In addition to the lectures, the workshop will have tutorials that pose and discuss problems related to the�lectures. This will also offer an opportunity to ask many questions and continue further discussions with�all of the lecturers. There will also be a poster session, some evening seminars, and a skills�session focussing on scientific communication.� Posters to be presented must be size A1 portrait. Travel expenses, meals and accommodation are covered by SEPnet. Registration deadline 9 March 2018.
