The physicist Birgitta Schultze-Bernhardt receives the ERC Starting Grant of the European Research Council (ERC), which is endowed with 2.2 million euros. Her research work at TU Graz, Austria, is thus significantly strengthened. Lunghammer - TU Graz By Christoph Pelzl - The physicist receives the renowned prize for her project to investigate the interaction between UV light and matter in spectral ranges that have not yet been extensively researched. Birgitta Schultze-Bernhardt was already honored this year with the Austrian Science Fund FWF's START Prize. Ultraviolet light is particularly high-energy light. Its interaction with matter is of enormous importance, since our sun, for example, emits light in the UV range that triggers chemical reactions in atmospheric trace gases. So far, however, there is still no laser that emits directly in this high-energy range - something that would enable the direct access for research work in the ultraviolet spectral region.
