Description
Spectroscopy is a collective term for scientific techniques that investigate the interaction of matter with radiation. In this course the general principles of spectroscopy are explained and the student will learn to correlate spectroscopic data with the quantum mechanical description and the symmetry of the material investigated. The main topics that will be discussed are group theory, vibrational spectroscopy and electronic spectroscopy.
