About

This school is primarily aimed at doctoral students and postdoctoral researchers interested in theoretical and/or experimental aspects of photoelectron spectroscopy, but master's students and experienced researchers are also welcome. The three-day programme of talks covers topics related to the measurement, interpretation, and simulation of photoelectron spectra, with an emphasis on core level XPS.

Overview

Combining theory and experiment into one event is a very deliberate choice. The analysis of XPS spectra can be challenging, and it is increasingly common to use first-principles simulations to guide the interpretation of experimental results. The purpose of this school is to prepare researchers for such investigations, by helping them understand the fundamentals, strengths, and limitations of both experimental and computational tools.
