Dear Colleagues,

 It is our pleasure to invite you to participate in the
 International School on Vibrational Spectroscopies: A hands-on
 introduction to ABINIT, Queretaro, Mexico, March 30-April 5, 2008.

 The conference is being organized thanks to a joint effort between several
 institutions throughout the world such as Conacyt Mexico, CLAF, FAME 
project, ONR, ETSF, ICMR and Concyteq.

 The six days and half school will introduce the different theoretical
 techniques to calculate vibrational properties and their relation with some 
spectroscopies like
 Raman, Infrared, Neutron, etc, and properties like elastic constants, 
piezoelectricity, superconductivity
 and the specific heat.

 We will start with the basis of
 density functional theory and perturbation density functional theory. A lot 
of
 practice time has been set up to have enough hours to understand the
 concepts and get a glance on  how calculations are performed. We expect to 
give a real inside into the ABINIT code and
 its use to obtain many different properties. Many different applications will
 be presented, from ferroelectrics, semiconductors, metals and others.

 Participants will include graduate students, postdocs and non-experts in the 
field. The level of the conference will be
 at an advanced graduate course.

 We request all interested participants to submit an application through
 our web page before January 31st, 2008:

 qro.cinvestav.mx/~abinit

 or get in contact with the organizers through our email address

 abinit@qro.cinvestav.mx

 A complete information about topics and speakers can be found in the School
 web page. We expect to have money for support but we encourage you to try to
 look for funding in your home country. Please be aware that we have only 80 
seats
 and your application should be completed as possible. It is important that 
you know
 that if you want to be considered for support you will have to present a 
poster (submission is
 also in our web page)

 We look forward to seeing you in Queretaro.
