Place
of the course
Louvain-la-Neuve
Main themes Part I Physics of atoms -The structure of atoms and ions is based on a brief review of some relevant results of quantum mechanics and spectroscopy -Hydrogenoid systems, quantum defect -Many-electron atoms : Hartree-Fock method and Self-Consistent-Field approximation, central field and corrections, coupling schemes, isoelectronic series Part II Molecular Physics -Born-Oppenheimer approximation. -Electronic states: adiabatic states, molecular orbitals, terms -Symmetries and correlation diagrams of diatomic molecules -Vibrational and rotational states -Radiative transitions, selection rules -Introduction to molecular dynamics NB: An introduction to various illustrations by means of user-friendly computer codes in atomic and molecular structure and dynamics is provided during the supervised practical works.
Aims The objective of the course is to present the fundamental aspects of the structures and properties of atoms, ions and diatomic molecules.
