|
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
- The lasers (principles + description of various lasers)
|
|
Learning outcomes of the course :
|
|
- 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.
|
|
Prerequisites and co-requisites/ Recommended optional programme components :
|
| None |
|
Planned learning activities and teaching methods :
|
| The teaching method is the ex cathedra mode in the blackboard.
The practical classes (15h) deal with
- L'amplification lock-in
- Rubidium absorption laser spectroscopy (hyperfine structure)
- NMR Spectroscopy (2 afternoons) - Molecular structure studies (only for the specialized finality)
|
|
Mode of delivery (face-to-face ; distance-learning) :
|
| The course is given in the first and the second quadrimestre according a schedule distributed at the beginning of the year. |
|
Recommended or required readings :
