Purpose:

This international symposium is intended to provide a wide opportunity to discuss and exchange opinions on state-of-the-art theoretical and numerical simulation methods for soft x-ray solid state spectroscopy, such as photoemission, inner core x-ray absorption, x-ray Raman, luminescence and other nonlinear x-ray processes in solids. As is well known, soft x-ray solid state spectroscopy has now become one of the most important research fields in materials science. This development is mainly due to recent rapid developments of synchrotron radiation facilities in each country. These synchrotron radiation facilities cooperate well with each other internationally, and often provide strong support when a facility is going to be constructed or expanded.

As for cooperation between theorists in this field, on the other hand, the Synchrotron Radiation Research Theory Network (SRRTNet) is operational, mainly in European and American countries. However, such a cooperation network is not set up in Asian countries, although many synchrotron radiation facilities are already operating, and also going to be constructed or expanded in this area. This international symposium is partly intended to establish a mutual cooperation network between soft x-ray solid state theorists in this geographical area, as well as the global network.

Scope:

Including some experimental work, any theme will be welcomed for presentation, if it is related to theoretical soft x-ray solid state spectroscopy, such as photoemission, inner core x-ray absorption, x-ray Raman, luminescence and other nonlinear x-ray processes in solids. For example, we expect subjects related with :

1) quantum statistical dynamics of soft x-ray excitations and their relaxations in solids,
2) spectroscopic manifestations of electron-phonon and inter-electron interactions in solids,
3) calculation methods for electronic and lattice structures of solids,
4) simulation theories for nano-size many-body systems in various materials.
