Norbert F. Scherer spends much of his time researching Optics, Atomic physics, Femtosecond, Laser and Analytical chemistry. His Optics study frequently links to adjacent areas such as Molecular physics. His work in the fields of Atomic physics, such as Excited state and Wave packet, overlaps with other areas such as Reaction intermediate.
Many of his studies on Femtosecond involve topics that are commonly interrelated, such as Spectroscopy. His research integrates issues of Thin film, Transmission electron microscopy, Relaxation and Particle in his study of Analytical chemistry. In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Raman scattering, Intermolecular force, Polarizability, Birefringence, Frequency domain and Four-wave mixing is strongly linked to Polarization.
The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Optics, Molecular physics, Plasmon, Atomic physics and Nanoparticle. While the research belongs to areas of Optics, he spends his time largely on the problem of Optoelectronics, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Nonlinear optics. Norbert F. Scherer combines subjects such as Spectroscopy, Polarization, Polarizability, Femtosecond and Electron with his study of Molecular physics.
His studies deal with areas such as Resonance, Nanowire, Nanorod and Surface plasmon resonance as well as Plasmon. His Atomic physics research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Excitation, Dephasing and Analytical chemistry. His Nanoparticle research incorporates elements of Particle and Nanostructure.
Norbert F. Scherer focuses on Optics, Microscopy, Nanoparticle, Optical tweezers and Particle. His study in Microscope, Interferometry, Deconvolution, Detector and Fluorescence-lifetime imaging microscopy falls under the purview of Optics. His research investigates the connection between Microscopy and topics such as 3D reconstruction that intersect with issues in Grating.
Norbert F. Scherer interconnects Chemical physics, Non-equilibrium thermodynamics and Plasmon in the investigation of issues within Nanoparticle. His work focuses on many connections between Optical tweezers and other disciplines, such as Trajectory, that overlap with his field of interest in Atoms in molecules. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Range, Ray, Polarization, Soft matter and Molecular physics.
Norbert F. Scherer mainly investigates Nanoparticle, Optical tweezers, Microscopy, Optics and Non-equilibrium thermodynamics. Norbert F. Scherer works mostly in the field of Nanoparticle, limiting it down to topics relating to Plasmon and, in certain cases, Nanophotonics, Nanotechnology and Energy, as a part of the same area of interest. The concepts of his Optical tweezers study are interwoven with issues in Coherent diffraction imaging, Fluorescence-lifetime imaging microscopy, X-ray crystallography, Diffraction and Holography.
Norbert F. Scherer has researched Microscopy in several fields, including Deconvolution, Microscope and Bragg's law. His study focuses on the intersection of Non-equilibrium thermodynamics and fields such as Chemical physics with connections in the field of Symmetry, Phase and Self-assembly. Norbert F. Scherer performs multidisciplinary studies into Electromagnetic coupling and Molecular physics in his work.
