| Course contents :
| The lecture is devided in two parts: 1. Atomic and Molecular Spectroscopy. (a) Basic pinciples of atomic spectroscopy , study of atomic spectra and special effects. (b) Study of the intramolecular motions and the molecular electronic structure: examination of molecular spectra in the wavelength regions of microwave, IR, UV-visible and extreme UV: description of the NMR, EPR UVPES and XPES techniques. 2. Statistical Thermodynamics: (a) Study of the different classical and quantum statistics, of the partition fonctions and the various thermodynamic fonctions . (b) Applications: the Bose-Einstein condensation, superconductivity, introduction to the solid state, gaseous and liquid mixtures, chemical équilibria. Application to the chemical kinetics. | |
|  | | |
| Course objective :
| - Theoretical and and descriptive introduction to the various spectroscopic techniques as applied to atoms and molecules. - Evaluation of the thermodynamic fonctions using the statistical mechanical méthods. Application to various fields in Physics and extension to the field of chemical kinetics. | |
|  | | |
| Prerequisites :
| Basic concepts on atomic and molecular structure acquired during the bachelor degree. | |
|  | | |
| Workshops :
| 40 hours of Chemical Physics laboratory work (5days of 8 hours). | |
|  | | |
| Organization :
| 40 hours of lectures divided into 20 h of spectroscopiy and 20h of thermodynamics. | |
|  | | |
| Written notes :
| For the lectures, notes are published in extenso and available for the two parts separately. Practical laboratory work is based on building experiments resulting from a preliminary bibliographic research. | |
|  | | |
| Assessment :
| Theoretical lecture: written exams on both parts (almost consisting of applications) Practical laboratory work: évaluation based on performance in the laboratory, oral and written reports. | |
