Harald Rose
Harald Rose ( born February 14, 1935 in Bremen ) is a German physicist and university teacher.
Life and work
At the age of two years, the family of Harald Rose moved for professional reasons to Darmstadt. He attended the Old Grammar School at the chapel (now Georg- Büchner -Schule ( Darmstadt, Germany) ). After graduation in 1955, he studied physics at the Technical University of Darmstadt. The bachelor's degree, he completed after three semesters in May 1957. During the main study, he was incidentally teaching assistant at Otto Scherzer. In his thesis he dealt with matters of electron microscopy. 1961 Rose graduated his studies in physics from final. Subsequently, he worked with Otto Scherzer. From this he received his doctorate in early 1965 with a theme in the theoretical electron optics. In 1967 he was an assistant in the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics. In February 1970 he was habilitated and received the venia legendi for physics. His habilitation thesis was: correction of electron microscope lenses. Together with Otto Scherzer, he led the group theory at the Institute of Applied Physics. This worked problems of electron- optical imaging and injury electron microscopic objects by the imaging radiation ( Scherzer 1977, p 186). From 1976 to 1978 he was a Principal Research Scientist at the New York State Department of Health. 1973 to 1974 he was a research year at the Enrico Fermi Institute at the University of Chicago and from 1995 to 1996 is also a year of research at Cornell and the University of Maryland. From 1980 until his retirement in 2000 he was at the TU Darmstadt in the physics department operates.
In the late 1980s calculated rose a correction system for the resolution of particularly critical error electromagnetic lenses, the so-called aberration. The Breakthrough of it is combining the classic round electron lens with non-circular elements corrected as a " spectacle " defective vision, so that a largely error -free optical system as a whole is created. In the 1990s, Harald Rose and succeeded his former employees (especially Maximilian Haider ), and Knut Urban from Forschungszentrum Jülich, as part of a 1991 grant from the Volkswagen Foundation to 1997 research project, the breakthrough in the field of electron microscopy. The team succeeded in the premises of the European Molecular Biology Laboratory ( EMBL) in Heidelberg, the construction of an aberration-corrected transmission electron microscope. The resolution could be improved to 0.13 nanometers. This could first be made visible atoms.
In 2000 he spent a year at the Department of Materials Science, Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Then he had a stay as a Research Fellow at the Department of Materials Science, Argonne National Laboratory. From 2003 to 2005 he was at the Advanced Light Source, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. Since 2009 he holds one donated by Carl Zeiss senior professor at the University of Ulm.
Rose is the holder of 105 patents of scientific instruments and electro - optical components.
Harald Rose is married and has two daughters.
