Simulated Reality for Materials, Products and Processes
Simulated reality is based on the comprehension of scientific/technical simulation combined with modern visualisation and interaction methods.
Main R&D Topics:
Multi-Scale Modelling Computational und Reverse EngineeringVirtual Reality based interactive Tools
Nano
Macro
Application Example: Functional Materials, Electroceramics and Coatings
Multi-Scale Modelling: Material-based optimisation of function and durability of thin films, fuel cells or piezoelectric devices
Computational determination of experimentally not accessible material data, limits of operation
Discovery and testing of novel materials under functional aspects (nanoscale wear-resistant coatings, photonic crystals, … )
Future world in the computer
Tailored Light
Light for the nanoworld
Example: Light in the Extreme Ultraviolet
High-power sources (5 - 50 nm) wavelengthMulti-Nanolayer Optics
Systems for controlled generation, transport and utilisation of light lead to new applications in material processing, sensing and microelectronics
