QUIM-2624 Spectroscopy and Quantum Chemistry
To have students successfully interpret IR, UV, and VIS molecule spectra using basic quantum mechanics methods. Course topics include: selected basics of quantum mechanics, UV and VIS spectra of simple atoms (H and He), IR spectra of simple molecules the vibration and rotation model, graduating from two atom molecules to more complex molecules, spectroscopy and chemical reactions, aspects of symmetry, group theory, reducible and irreducible representations, UV and VIS molecule spectra, the Frank-Condon principle, Fluorescence spectroscopy, lifetime of excited states, Raman spectroscopy, laser spectroscopy, high temporal or spectral resolution.
