The aim of the school is to provide an introduction to group-theoretical methods and computational tools necessary for appropriate applications of symmetry properties in solid-state materials science. Special emphasis is given to the applications of computational crystallography using the Bilbao Crystallographic Server (BCS) (www.cryst.ehu.es) for the study of specific problems in solid-state physics, like phase transitions and their symmetry-mode analysis, comparison between crystal structures, magnetic symmetry and its applications in the description of magnetic structures, etc. Special topics like chirality in solid-state physics, continuous symmetry measures, chirality in magnetism, chiral phonons, chirality and relativity will be discussed in the context of new frontiers in materials science research.

The school is intended for scientists in Materials Science, Solid-State Physics and Crystallography in general and specifically for PhD students and young researchers interested in a deep and practical knowledge of group theory and crystallography applied. The maximum number of participants is limited to 70 (on-site).

Official language of the school is English.

Location: the school will take place in Shanghai University (Baoshan Campus) https://en.shu.edu.cn
