CCP9 Working Group Meeting took place in Warwick on April 6. Minutes
April 2003
CCP9 has organized a number of workshops over the past 6-months, including,
- The International Nanoelectronics Conference, Lancaster, Jan 2003
- Order and Disorder in Solids: Alloys Magnetism and Superconductivity, Bristol, April 2003.
- Workshop on the Bogoliubov de Gennes equations, Bristol, May 2003
- Dynamical Mean Field Theory workshop, Trieste, Aug 2003.
We have also made several updates to the Web site.
CCP9 Working Group Meeting took place in Belfast on April 8. Minutes
CCP9 members have played a major role in several large bids for funding to EPSRC and Framework 6, including Nanoelectronics Network of Excellence (Framework 6 NOE), Nanospintronics (Framework 6, Marie Curie RTN) and the naoGRID (EPSRC E-science pilot project). Work is underway for bids under Materials Modelling (EPSRC), and NEST (Adventure Fund , Framework 6), as well as for a new HPCX consortium and a CCP9 Flagship project to be submitted to EPSRC in responsive mode.
October 2002
Dear CCP9 members,
This is just a brief update on the planned workshops and activities of CCP9 over the coming year. The report below was circulated to the CCP chairs meeting in October.
Please note that the workshop in Bristol for April will be Balazs Gyorffy's 65th birthday celebration, and I hope many CCP9 members will want to attend. I'll circulate more details nearer to event.
The magnetic oxides workshop would be organized jointly with the EPSRC funded magnetic oxides network. I'm still waiting for confirmation whether they want to do this with us.
Just a reminder, that funds are available for external visitors or for collaborative visits within the UK. Email requests to Walter or myself.
Finally we still have no decision about a new flagship project. If you have a project which you are preparing and which could benefit from being labelled a CCP9 flagship, feel free to discuss it with Walter or I. In principle now we can submit several projects in different areas, so there is no reason for say a based LMTO/KKR project to exclude a separate pseudopotential based project or a many-body one. Especially projects which include significant new code development, GRID based development, or substantial HPCX use could quite reasonably be labelled as CCP9 flagship projects.

Spring/Summer 2002
We organized the following minicolloquia at the EPS Condensed Matter Division (CMD/CMMP2002) meeting Brighton 7-11 April 2002.
- Mineralogy and Geophysics
- Magnetoelectronics
- Wide Bandgap Semiconductors
- Electronic Structure of Correlated Systems
- Non-Collinear Spin Structures
For the coming year we are planning the following workshops
- International conference on Nanoelectronics. Jan 4-9 2003, Lancaster.
- Order and disorder in solids: alloys, magnetism and superconductivity, 11-13 April 2003, Bristol
- International Workshop on solving the Bogoliubov de Gennes equations (30 May - 1 June 2003), Bristol.
- Ab initio many-body theory for correlated electron systems, Trieste Aug. 25-29, 2003
- Order N electronic structure, Isaac Newton Institute, spring 2004.
- Magnetic oxides (to be confirmed), Sheffield.
We have also made improvements to our web site at www.ccp9.ac.uk. Notably, we have started to build a web database of available (both public domain or commercial) codes for Electronic Structure calculations.
