Core-level spectroscopies provide local, element- and orbital-specific electronic structure information in a wide array of contexts, but particularly where one cannot rely of crystallinity to interrogate materials systems. The direct conversion of measured spectra into details on local atomic and electronic structure can be challenging and is often aided by first-principles simulations. At the same time, core-level spectra provide much-needed validation of the accuracy of various electronic structure methods. This workshop brings together experts in the prediction and interpretation of core-level spectroscopies (interrogated by X-rays, electrons, or other means) with the goal of sharing recent advances in the field, across a broad range of chemical and materials contexts.
