Learning unit 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)
  • Atom-photon interaction and the polarisation role
