| Lecturer : | Edwin De Pauw, Bernard Leyh |
|
| Coordinator : | Bernard Leyh |
|
Language(s) of instruction :
|
| French language |
|
Organisation and examination :
|
| Teaching in the second semester |
|
Course contents :
|
| Partim: Atomic and Molecular Spectroscopy
Based on the knowledge of the students in quantum mechanics, an introduction to atomic spectroscopy, to molecular rotational and vibrational spectroscopy and to nuclear magnetic resonance will be presented. |
|
Learning outcomes of the course :
|
| The students are expected to become familiar with the basic concepts of modern spectroscopic methods and to become able to apply them critically, inter alia to the analysis of molecular structures (in relation with E. De Pauw's course). |
|
Prerequisites and co-requisites/ Recommended optional programme components :
|
| Basic quantum mechanics course |
|
Planned learning activities and teaching methods :
|
| The laboratory practicums will deal with specific aspects of the taught spectroscopic methods, in particular vibration-rotation spectroscopy and nuclear magnetic resonance. The laboratory activities are divided into four parts: brief summary of the theory, data recording, data handling and data analysis, report writing. The theoretical presentation, the data recording and the beginning of the data handling and analysis are supervised by the research associates of the department. The remaining part of the work requires an autonomous attitude from the students but the lecturers can always be consulted. The students work in teams of 3 people on average. The laboratory reports are assessed and contribute to the final grade for the course. |
|
Mode of delivery (face-to-face ; distance-learning) :
|
| Two-hour lectures during the second quadrimester
3 days laboratory practicum |
|
Recommended or required readings :
|
| Partim Atomic and molecular spectroscopy. Powerpoint presentations will be made available. |
|
Assessment methods and criteria :
|
| The laboratory practicums are assessed based on written reports.
The theoretical knowledge is assessed during an oral examination.
To obtain a grade of at least 8/20, it is required to reach at least 8/20 in both parts of the course. |
