Several experts in the fields of ab initio/atomistic simulation have been asked to give 60-minute tutorial like presentations. The speakers have an interest in magnetism in common and will cover all aspects mentioned in the scope of the workshop, including

    Phase stability,

    Lattice vibrations

    Point and extended defects

    Diffusion

Most of the presentations will be theoretical, but insights from closely related experiments will also be presented.
