Location & approach

By car

The campus of TU Dortmund University is located near the Dortmund West motorway junction, where the Sauerland line A45 crosses the Ruhr expressway B1/A40. The Dortmund-Eichlinghofen exit on the A45 leads to the South Campus, while the Dortmund-Dorstfeld exit on the A40 leads to the North Campus. The university is signposted at both exits.

By bus and train

The TU Dortmund University S-Bahn station is located directly on the North Campus. From there, the S1 S-Bahn line runs every 15 or 30 minutes to Dortmund Central Station and in the opposite direction to Düsseldorf Central Station via Bochum, Essen, and Duisburg. The university can also be reached by bus lines 445, 447, and 462. Timetable information can be found on the Rhine-Ruhr Transport Association website, and DSW21 also offers an interactive route map.

The H-Bahn

One of the landmarks of TU Dortmund University is the H-Bahn. Line 1 runs every 10 minutes between Dortmund Eichlinghofen and the Technology Center via Campus South and Dortmund University S, while Line 2 runs every 5 minutes between Campus North and Campus South. It covers this distance in two minutes.

By plane

From Dortmund Airport, the AirportExpress takes you to Dortmund Central Station in just over 20 minutes, and from there you can take the S-Bahn to the university. A wider range of international flights is available at Düsseldorf Airport, around 60 kilometers away, which can be reached directly by S-Bahn from the university station.

Exemplary spectroscopy methods

Raman and Brillouin scattering

Inelastic light scattering for the investigation of molecular vibrations (Raman scattering) and acoustic phonons (Brillouin scattering). These methods provide information about the chemical composition, crystal structure and mechanical properties of materials.

Continuous and time-resolved photoluminescence

Analysis of light emission after optical excitation - in steady state or with time resolution. Enables the characterization of electronic states, energy transfer processes and relaxation dynamics in e.g. semiconductors and quantum materials.

Faraday and Kerr rotation

Magneto-optical techniques for measuring the rotation of the polarization plane of light in magnetic materials. Suitable for the investigation of magnetic order, spin polarization and ultrafast magnetic dynamics.

Photon correlation

Analysis of intensity fluctuations of scattered light to determine diffusion coefficients, particle sizes and dynamic processes in colloidal systems and complex liquids.

Collinear ultrafast spectrometry

Time-resolved optical spectroscopy with femtosecond resolution for the investigation of ultrafast processes such as charge carrier dynamics, coherent phonons and photochemical reactions.
