Meetings/Workshops on Physical Chemistry in Austria

Conference-Service.com offers, as part of our business activities, a directory of upcoming scientific and technical meetings. The calendar is published for the convenience of conference participants and we strive to support conference organisers who need to publish their upcoming events. Although great care is being taken to ensure the correctness of all entries, we cannot accept any liability that may arise from the presence, absence or incorrectness of any particular information on this website. Always check with the meeting organiser before making arrangements to participate in an event!

Meeting organisers can submit meetings free of charge for inclusion into the listing.

1.Energy Landscapes
Dates	16 Jul 2012 → 21 Jul 2012	[ID=482529]
Location	Obergurgl, Austria
Abstract	The behaviour of most systems of interest in chemical physics, including structural glasses, spin glasses, and biopolymers, is characterized by the presence of competing interactions. As a consequence, the topography and topology defined by the potential energy function is very complex, with an exponential number of local minima separated by energy barriers. Usually no suitable approximation schemes are available to compute dynamical or thermodynamical properties directly from the Hamiltonian of such a complex many-body system. Nevertheless, in many cases, predictions can be made from knowledge of the stationary points of the potential energy function, i.e., from points with vanishing gradient. Such techniques are now commonly referred to as energy landscape methods. Since this approach allows us to map dynamical as well as thermodynamic phenomena onto properties of the energy landscape, they are particularly powerful, and of fundamental importance for a broad spectrum of applications.
