Published on 04 November 2016

EPJ B, in partnership with the Ψk conference, is honoured to introduce this monthly issue with five articles written by the finalists of the Volker Heine Award 2015.

The Ψk conference is the foremost event in the field of electronic structure and computation in condensed matter, and the Volker Heine award is one of its highlights. Being intended for young researchers, the award aims at helping their career by exposing their work in a prestigious international conference, and adding a modest point to their Curriculum Vitae.

Out of 36 applications, 5 finalists were short-listed. These are the articles published in EPJB:

- Marco Bernardi (winner)
First-principles dynamics of electrons and phonons

- Fabio Caruso and Feliciano Giustino
The GW plus cumulant method and plasmonic polarons: application to the homogeneous electron gas

- Ion Errea
Approaching the strongly anharmonic limit with ab initio calculations of materials’ vibrational properties – a colloquium

- Johanna I. Fuks
Time-dependent density functional theory for charge-transfer dynamics: review of the causes of failure and success

- Felix Hummel, Thomas Gruber and Andreas Grüneis
A many-electron perturbation theory study of the hexagonal boron nitride bilayer system


The special issue covers the fascinating areas of research that are moving forward through the efforts of these young researchers. To get a brief overview on the history of the award, make sure to check the editorial written by Angel Rubio, Risto Nieminen and Volker Heine.

This was our first experience of publishing with EPJ Web of Conferences. We contacted the publisher in the middle of September, just one month prior to the Conference, but everything went through smoothly. We have had published MNPS Proceedings with different publishers in the past, and would like to tell that the EPJ Web of Conferences team was probably the best, very quick, helpful and interactive. Typically, we were getting responses from EPJ Web of Conferences team within less than an hour and have had help at every production stage.
We are very thankful to Solange Guenot, Web of Conferences Publishing Editor, and Isabelle Houlbert, Web of Conferences Production Editor, for their support. These ladies are top-level professionals, who made a great contribution to the success of this issue. We are fully satisfied with the publication of the Conference Proceedings and are looking forward to further cooperation. The publication was very fast, easy and of high quality. My colleagues and I strongly recommend EPJ Web of Conferences to anyone, who is interested in quick high-quality publication of conference proceedings.
