Abstract

It is a great pleasure to welcome you to the XXV Latin American Symposium on Solid State Physics (SLAFES) hosted this year by the SUE-Caribe network of universities, represented in this occasion by the Universidad del Atlántico in the vibrant city of Barranquilla, from October 23 to 26, 2024. This symposium marks a significant milestone as we celebrate the 25th edition of SLAFES, a testament to decades of dedicated research, collaboration, and scientific advancement in the field of solid-state physics. Since its inception in 1969, SLAFES has grown into one of the most prestigious and enduring conferences in Latin America, fostering connections between researchers, academicians, and industry experts. This year, we are proud to host over 180 participants, including esteemed plenary and invited speakers, students, and scholars from ten countries across Latin America, as well as contributors from Europe and the United States. They represent almost sixty distinguished academic and research institutions, which underscores the global nature of scientific inquiry and the shared commitment to pushing the frontiers of knowledge. The program for SLAFES 2024 contains an exciting array of plenary talks, invited presentations, oral contributions, and poster sessions, adding up to over a hundred thirty contributions that cover cutting-edge topics, from electronic structure and magnetism to nanomaterials and novel technologies. We trust that these sessions will inspire rich discussions, spark new ideas, and promote collaborations that extend well beyond the conclusion of this event. Barranquilla, known for its lively culture and warm hospitality, offers the perfect backdrop for both rigorous academic exchange and personal connection. We hope that your experience here will be enriching, both scientifically and culturally. Thank you for being a part of this special edition of SLAFES. Your participation and enthusiasm are what make this symposium a thriving hub for innovation and progress. We look forward to an engaging and fruitful event.
