Summer Schools on Mathematical Crystallography

Type de manifestation : Ecole d'été

Description :

2 Ecoles d'Eté organisées par le Laboratoire Cristallographie, Résonance Magnétique et Modélisation à l'occasion du cinquième anniversaire de la fondation de la Commission Cristallographie mathématique et théorique.

Topological Crystal Chemistry: Theory and Practice

The first school will run on four days, from 22 to 25 June

• Crystal nets as graphs. Introduction to graph theory.
• Deconstruction of crystal structures.
• Tilings for nets. Dual structures, transitivity.
• Taxonomy of nets. Regular, Semiregular etc.
• Knots and Entanglements in crystals.
• Use of Topos, RCSR and EPINET databases.

Irreducible representations of space groups

The second school will run on five days, from 28 June 2 July

• Basic facts on crystallographic groups
• Basic facts on subgroups of space groups
• Basic facts on representation theory and irreducible representations (irreps) of crystallographic groups (point groups)
• Induction procedure for the derivation of irreps
• Application of the induction procedure for the derivation of the point group irreps
• Irreps of space groups
• Group-subgroup relations in phase transition problems
• Phase transitions-Landau theory approach
• Phonons
