Content

Introduction to quantum mechanics (14,5h + 14,5h): Experimental and theoretical bases. Resolution of Schrödinger equation for simple cases, with one particle (potential well, harmonic oscillator, rigid rotator, hydrogenoid atoms). Approximate treatment: polyelectronic atoms, H2+ molecular ion, diatomic molecules. Molecular dynamics and chemical bonding notions.
Basis of spectroscopy (8h + 8h): Distinctions between spectrocopy and spectrometry, spectroscopies of absorption vs emission. Basis of spectroscopies  : rotation, vibration, libration, rotational and vibrational Raman, UVVis, XPS, resonance techniques (mostly EPR).

Teaching methods

Magistral classes and exercices sessions.

Evaluation methods

At the written examination, several questions of theory and problems are presented to the students. They demonstrate their knowledge by explaining the corresponding content of the course, and their ability to exploit this knowledge by solving the problems.
For the spectroscopy, are more more specificially proposed exercices that require the exploitation of the features of a spectrum in order to infer the characteristics of the sample that has generated it (and vice versa : prediction of a spectrum from the sample characteristics).
