|
| Course contents : | The course is intended to the study of the bases of the atomic and molecular physics. We teach
- Atomic magnetism. The spin.
- Radiofrequency spectroscopy : EPR and NMR
- Atomic structure and atomic spectroscopy.
- The lasers (principles + description of various lasers)
- Ion traps. Laser cooling.

| Course objective : |
- To teach the bases of the atomic and molecular physics
- To teach the fundamental laws governing the behaviour of the atomic constituents.
- To teach some experimental techniques used in the determination of the atomic and molecular properties.

- Rubidium absorption laser spectroscopy (hyperfine structure)
- The photomultipliers
- NMR Spectroscopy (2 afternoons) - Molecular structure studies
|
|
| Organization : | The course is given in the first and the second quadrimestre according a schedule distributed at the beginning of the year. |
|
| Written notes : | Notes are distributed at the beginning of the course. |
|
