The objective of this course is to provide the basic knowledge of molecular physics for molecules with at least three atoms.
Vibration, rotation and ro-vibration energies are studied. Different types of molecules are considered: linear molecules, symmetric, assymetric and spherical spinners. The ro-vibrational analysis of spectra of linear molecules is detailed. Finally, optical spectroscopy techniques are presented.
Due to the measures taken in the fight against the spread of covid-19 and those implemented at the UNamur level, the evaluation modalities are subject to modification to be adapted to the situation. The modified evaluation modalities will be communicated by the teacher to the students via WebCampus. A work of analysis of a spectrum provided by the teacher is to be carried out before the examination on the basis of the whole of the material seen. The examination is oral with one question per card drawn at random. After one hour of preparation, the student presents orally his answer to the question as well as the result of his spectrum analysis work. The written version of this work is given to the teacher at the end of the exam. The mark will take into account the physical approach, the reasoning and the clarity of the presentation.
