Course Content
|
Course focuses on the fundamentals and working principles of light-molecule interactions, the laws of electronic and vibrational states formation upon photo-physical/-chemical processes, and the use of these processes in materials science and nanotechnology fields. A special focus is given to transitions between electronic and vibrational states and their implementation in sensing and optoelectronic applications. This course aims to establish a foundation for understanding and interpreting wide-ranging light-molecule interaction types that exist in nature, biological systems, and varied technologies.
