Module aim (aims)

This course facilitates acquiring knowledge necessary for understanding the direct relation between different spectroscopic methods and the processes taking place as a result of interaction of light and matter. Moreover, the students will become familiar with the applications of the spectroscopic methods, and instrumental aspects of specific techniques, including: electronic absorption and emission spectroscopy of atoms and molecules, circular dichroism spectroscopy, IR spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, NMR spectroscopy, EPR spectroscopy, Mössbauer spectroscopy, spectroscopy on surfaces, and mass spectrometry. All techniques will be illustrated by application and data from pure chemistry experiments, and by some studies illustrated on systems of practical importance, including food and (natural and synthetic) polymers and some others.

Pre-requisites in terms of knowledge, skills and social competences (where relevant)
