A tiny mathematical bottleneck (2 precisely calculated primary numbers) as the inevitable prerequisite for the formation of atomic matter becomes at the same time a wormhole into previously inaccessible, mysterious depths of the micro- and macrocosm. In addition to various answers to questions that are still open, a wealth of unknown things is revealed. In agreement with the results of experimental research, but not always with the ideas of current theories and models. Made possible by thinking that frees itself...

Similar to how the number pi or Euler's constant e determine mathematics, fundamental natural constants mark the scales of the natural sciences. In contrast to mathematics, the origin of the fundamental natural constants is still a matter of controversy. This book presents a new perspective by means of a few axioms and, by comparing it with experimental data, establishes the resulting truth content. Through the axiomatic approach, the mysterious Sommerfeld fine structure constant and the Dirac cosmic number are defined...

Since the beginning of space travel, an enormous amount of man-made garbage has accumulated in space, so-called space debris. This scrap poses an ever-increasing threat to satellites and spacecraft. Even centimeter-sized particles can develop destructive force in a collision with a satellite. The space-based detection of space debris was defined as the secondary objective of DLR's astronomical mission AsteroidFinder, the primary objective of which is to detect near-Earth asteroids. The space-based observation has the advantage that no atmosphere can interfere...

The current work investigates two fundamental problems of small molecule organic solar cells (OSC): transparent top contacts and alternative donor materials. Transparent top contacts are a prerequisite for inverted, i.e. top-illuminated OSC on opaque substrates. This work documents that transparent, ultra-thin metal films are a possible solution to this challenge. It is shown that silver or gold layers with thicknesses Three diindenoperylene derivatives are introduced as green donor materials. Although these experiments are still at a very early stage, OSC...

The dissertation will address the concept of a proto-universe that combines a steady state model of universe creation with multiple nucleogenesis events. Based on observable data of many large scale structures found in the universe that are older than the 13.7 billion years given for the big bang model of the birth of the universe.

On the order of a few nanometers, silicon shows new properties. What is special about nanocrystalline silicon is the occurrence of quantum effects. In this diploma thesis it was examined whether certain nanostructures, such as a superlattice with silicon nanocrystals, are suitable for photovoltaics or whether quantum effects could be used for energy conversion. For this purpose, nine different solar cells with quartz glass (as a non-photoactive substrate) were produced in order to make the photovoltaic effect of nanostructures accessible...
