| Content |
Introduction to quantum mechanics (22.5 h) : the equation of Schroedinger and its resolution to particules in potential wells (vox, oscillator, rotator and hydrogen-like atoms). Extension to atoms, hydrogen ion molécules, diatomics and polyatomic molecules. Special attention being paid onto molecular motions and onto to chemical bond. Exercices are organized in computer room to handle these concepts.
Spectroscopy (7.5 h) : distinctions between spectroscopy and spectrometry, emission and absorption, rotational, vibrational and libration spectroscopies with special emphasis on the principles, differences and complementarity of IR and Raman vibrational spectroscopies, electron spectroscopy with special attention on the difference between UV-Vis spectroscopy and photoelectron spectroscopy, principles of resonance spectroscopies (ESR and RMN). Exercices are organized with the objectives to acquire the ability to distinguish and handle spectra from different spectroscopies and to retrieve information from them related to the analyse samples.
