The exciting Code
exciting is a full-potential all-electron density-functional-theory package implementing the families of linearized augmented planewave methods. It can be applied to all kinds of materials, irrespective of the atomic species involved, and also allows for exploring the physics of core electrons. A particular focus are excited states within many-body perturbation theory.
COVID-19 UPDATE: May 4, 2020 !
Dear friends,
due to the current emergency situation caused by the COVID-19, the organization of "HoW exciting! 2020" took the final decision to postpone this event to a later appointment, most likely to be held in 2021.
Details on the future of "HoW exciting! 2020" will be soon available.
We wish everyone to keep healthy.
