The State Research Center for Optics and Material Sciences (OPTIMAS) connects two areas of research for which the University of Kaiserslautern has a national and international reputation, founded upon relevant contributions to the development of laser physics, photonics and plasmonics. Researchers in Kaiserslautern have also been prominent in the development of magnetic, electronic and molecular materials, as well as thin films, nanostructures and ultracold quantum gases. In order to continue building on this research foundation, OPTIMAS has been established at TU Kaiserslautern within the framework of the research initiative of the state of Rhineland-Palatinate.〔(MBWJK )〕 == Research at OPTIMAS == OPTIMAS combines natural and engineering sciences in the research areas of optics and material sciences. The participating researchers bring together their expertise in the areas of * quantum physics, * applied optics, * magnetism, * thin film physics, * molecular and material sciences. Their multifaceted projects include both fundamental and technologically oriented research, and fall under the general theme of "Light – Spin – Matter". Several OPTIMAS research objectives are thematically extremely broad and can only be pursued through the combination of multiple model-based and experimental approaches. The "Light – Spin – Matter" core unites diverse cutting-edge research areas such as * spintronics, * plasmonics, * meta-materials, * Bose-Einstein condensates and * optical switches. A typical example of the wide range of OPTIMAS research objectives is Spin Engineering. This research area ranges from * spin chains, * artificial materials such as ultra-cold gases, * chemical systems such as poly-nuclear transition metal complexes, * organic and inorganic semiconductors and * ferromagnetic nanostructures. Spin engineering also leads to applications, for example in the development of new materials for computer memory and novel sensors. Investigations into spin engineering have already been carried out at TU Kaiserslautern from various perspectives and will be advanced further in a more efficient way under the aegis of OPTIMAS. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「State Research Center for Optics and Material Sciences (OPTIMAS)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
