Molecular Spectroscopy

The aim of the class is to introduce, analyse, and discuss models and theories at the heart of molecular spectroscopy. The following specific topics will be treated:
- Vibrational and ro-vibrational spectroscopy (IR, Raman);
-Electronic and vibro-electronic spectroscopy (UV/Vis and principal photochemical processes);
- Properties related to the response to electrical and magnetic fields (polarizability and nuclear magnetic resonance parameters).

At the end of the course, the student:
- will acquire the theoretical bases of the main spectroscopic techniques;
- will be able to analyze from the microscopic point of view the physical phenomena underlying spectroscopy experiments;
- will improve knowledge of quantum mechanics.
