Dr. Daniel Franta Collaborates with the University of Barcelona in Optical Materials Characterization
Dr. Daniel Franta from Optics for Thin Films and Solid Surfaces at DPPT and CEPLANT completed a one-month research stay at the University of Barcelona. The collaboration focused on advanced optical characterization of anisotropic materials, including the extension of the newAD2 software to incorporate optical anisotropy and the harmonization of polarimetric and ellipsometric data analysis approaches. The visit also laid the groundwork for a joint study of uniaxial TiO₂ crystals and further strengthened international cooperation in optical modeling and characterization of complex materials.
