  • Atomic magnetism. The spin.
  • Radiofrequency spectroscopy : EPR and NMR
  • The lasers (principles + description of various lasers)

Learning outcomes of the learning unit

 

  • 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.

Prerequisite knowledge and skills

None

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

The teaching method is the ex cathedra mode in the blackboard.
