| 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. |
