Course unit content

<br />Basics: Time dependent quantum mechanics and time dependent perturbation theory; Fermi golden rule. <br />Electromagnectic radiation. e.m. radiation - matter interaction hamiltonian: semiclassic approximation; Electric dipole approximation.<br />Electronic molecular spectroscopy: Applications of the Fermi golden rule: Absorption and emission of light. Franck-Condon approximation; Beyond Condon approximation; Selection rules. Beyond the elctric dipole approximation: Electric Quadrupole and magnetic dipole.<br />Vibrational spectroscopy: Harmonic approximation: normal modes of vibrations. IR activity and selection rules. Beyond the harmonic approximation: combination modes and overtones. <br />Raman spectroscopy: Rayleigh and Raman scattering. Albrecht theory of vibrational Raman intensity. <br /> <br />Two lab experiences:<br />1) Absorption and emission (fluorescence) spectra of push-pull organic dyes.<br />2) Raman spectra of push-pull organic dyes as a function of the exciting laser line (resonant behavior)
