Monolayers of Fe on the surface of Mo, the image is 200 nm by 200 nm.
Thulium doped fluoride fiber laser. The blue emission occurs by up-conversion of the 800 nm excitation.
Welcome to the School of Physics
The study and teaching of physics at Trinity College has a long and distinguished history and has included figures such as Hamilton, Lloyd, Fitzgerald and Walton, who made important contributions to physics. Recent decades have seen a huge expansion of research in magnetism, photonics, nanoscience and soft matter, placing the School at the forefront of the subject in Ireland, with a leadership role in European science.

TYPE
is a week-long programme of events organised by the School of Physics in Trinity College Dublin in which transition-year students can experience lots of different Physics-related activities. For more details see www.physics.tcd.ie/TYPE or check out our gallery from November 2009 (new).
NEW - Computational Spintronics Group Website
The research program of the Computational Spintronics Group at Trinity College Dublin aims at developing a series of sophisticated methods for simulating small-scale devices, in particular including magnetic elements. These allow us to predict their properties ahead of experiments and to tackle challenging problems with a potential for generating novel revolutionary devices. Such devices are then pursued experimentally by our colleagues at the Center for Research on Adaptive Nanostructures and Nanodevices (CRANN).
Optical Analysis Laboratory Website
The Optical Analysis Laboratory provides a range of optical measurement and analytical techniques for the investigation of material systems. This site also contains information on various optical techniques established in the School, including details on the Photonics Laboratory in CRANN.
Spirit of Ireland - Public Launch May 7th 2009
