International conference "Ab-initio modeling of advanced materials" AMM-2022 will be held in Yekaterinburg, Russia on October 3-7. The conference AMM2022 will focus on the recent progress in the development and application of ab-initio based methods of calculation and thermodynamic/kinetic modeling for microstructure and various finite-temperature physical properties of a wide range of materials, from steel and alloys up to modern functional compounds. Two special topics of this, already third AMM conference, will be problems related to (i) magnetism and magnetic materials and (ii) topological materials. The conference brings together prominent scientists from the area of theoretical modelling to assess the state of the art in applications of the electronic structure theory for the knowledge-based design of advanced materials. Development of any strategy for design of the materials requires combined multi-disciplinary efforts. The aim of the conference is to provide a fruitful atmosphere and framework for development and dissemination of novel ideas and concepts to resolve the present challenges in the field.

For the contemporary advanced materials, a proper account for lattice and magnetic effects as well as for correlation effects in electronic structure and thermal excitations is an important and quite challenging problem. The conference will encompass (i) accurate computational methods that are able to capture phenomena at the electronic and atomic level, (ii) efficient coarse-graining methodologies to access microstructure and target physical properties determined by nano, micro and mesoscales and (iii) application of these approaches to the advanced materials. Both the approaches based on density functional theory (DFT) and those beyond DFT (dynamical mean-field theory - DMFT, GW and others) will be considered. Last not least, the conference will focus on materials design to promote a direct interaction between theory and experiment. During the conference, a short one-day AMULET hands-on on practical calculations of the physical properties of real materials will take place.
