The optical constants fully describe how a material transmits, reflects, absorbs, refracts or scatters light. Their precise knowledge is therefore of central importance for optical technology. As part of the European joint projects "Advanced Traceable Metrology for Optical Constants" (ATMOC) and "14 Angstrom CMOS IC technology" (14ACMOS), PTB has started to build up a database of optical constants...

Reconstructing the spatial electron density of atomic systems not only provides new insights into quantum mechanics, but also advances in areas such as material science and functional surfaces. In the photoelectric effect, photoelectrons are emitted through interaction with light...

In June 2023, a three-year project on the research and development of measurement methods for nanomedicine was started within the European funding program "Partnership on Metrology". The MetrINo (Metrology for innovative Nanotherapeutics) project involves a total of 20 partners from ten European countries, including both research and metrology institutes as well as pharmaceutical companies.
