Molecular Spectroscopy

3 Credits · Level: Graduate, Undergraduate

In-depth study of linear spectroscopy, including electronic, vibrational, and rotational responses, which manifest as ultraviolet and infrared absorption, emission, and scattering. Symmetry and group theory as useful predictors of the radiation-molecule response based on chemical structure. Topics in nonlinear optical spectroscopy; advanced molecular studies in gases, liquids, and solids. Prerequisite: Physical Chemistry.
