Outline and Purpose of the Course In this subject, students are taught the fundamentals of spectroscopy, molecular structure, rotational and vibrational spectra, electronic transitions and photochemistry, magnetic resonance, and statistical thermodynamics.
Course Goals The aim is to learn basic concepts of spectroscopy as a whole and statistical thermodynamics.
Schedule and Contents Basics of spectroscopy, 1 session
What is spectroscopy, optical absorption and quantum mechanics, Einstein coefficients

Rotational and vibrational spectra, 4 sessions
Rotational energy levels and spectra, vibrational energy levels and spectra, lasers, symmetry and normal vibration, Raman spectrum

Electronic transitions and photochemistry, 2 sessions
Electron band spectrum, photochemical principles, fluorescence and phosphorescence, photochemical chain reactions, photolysis, photosynthesis

Magnetic resonance, 2 sessions
Magnetic properties of molecules, nuclear magnetic resonance, chemical shift and spin coupling, spin relaxation, two-dimensional NMR, electron spin resonance

Statistical thermodynamics, 5 sessions
Partition functions and thermodynamics, molecular energy and molecular partition functions, applications of statistical thermodynamics

Confirmation of learning achieved, 1 session
Students’ understanding of lecture contents is confirmed.
Evaluation Methods and Policy Evaluation is mainly based on results from regular examinations, and, to a lesser degree, attendance in lectures and submission of reports. Attendance, short tests, and assignment reports are all subject to evaluation. Marks are given if these evaluation items are only partially satisfied.
Course Requirements It is assumed that students have already taken “Physical Chemistry: Fundamentals and Exercises,” “Physical Chemistry I,” and “Physical Chemistry II.”
Study outside of Class (preparation and review) Since the subject is taught under the assumption that students have basic knowledge on quantum chemistry, students must thoroughly review the basics of quantum chemistry in advance.
