Jahn-Teller Symposia

An international symposium on the Jahn-Teller effect is held approximately every two years. These symposia cover general theories relating to the Jahn-Teller effect, as well as.experimental and theoretical aspects of the Jahn-Teller effect and vibronic coupling in a wide range of systems. These have included molecular systems (such as fullerenes, hydrocarbons and other molecules / clusters containing main group and transition elements), impurity systems and various solid-state systems. The next symposium is being held in Estonia in Summer 2016.

The International Steering Committee for these symposia is:
