Scope

Condensed matter under nonequilibrium conditions often has electronic structure, configurational order and transport properties not present in equilibrium. Such metastable species are of interest in their own right but also, often, because they describe the mechanism by which phase changes or chemical reactions occur. One of the challenges of describing such nonequilibrium phenomena is that they are often collective (large scale or approximate descriptions are required in theory) and occur on ultrafast timescales (experimental methods with high time resolution are required). The exploration of such phenomena typically occurs in essentially separate communities -- solid state experimental and theoretical physicists, experimental physical chemists and theoretical chemists -- distinguished both by separate literature and experimental and theoretical tools. In this workshop we aim to bring together junior and senior scientists from these diverse communities from Germany, Spain and beyond with the goal of overcoming these boundaries and achieving insight into nonequilibrium phenomena in condensed matter more generally.
