Learning outcomes
|
Introduction to techniques of vibrational spectroscopy.
The aim of this course is to acquire knowledge in vibrational spectroscopy: Infrared absorption and Raman scattering. Students know basics of quantum mechanics and group theory and they are able to describe main properties of IR and Raman spectra on a basis of molecular symmetry.
