| Course Subject | Chemistry |
| Offered in | Second Semester, 2011 and Second Semester, 2012 |
| Unit Value | 3 units |
| Course Description |
The course deals in depth with selected topics in a range of modern Spectroscopic Techniques targeted to chemists, physicists and mathematicians. Biophysical applications are highlighted, but no formal background in biology is required. Special Techniques treated are:
The course highlights both chemical and bio-chemical examples. It is underpinned by an introduction to essential Quantum Mechanics and Approximation Methods. A knowledge of these is necessary for the material covered. Note: This is an Honours Pathway Course that involves material of greater conceptual difficulty and research orientation than a standard course. |
| Learning Outcomes |
On satisfying the requirements of this course, students will have the knowledge and skills to explain the basics of modern magnetic resonance of electrons (ESR) and nuclei (NMR), electronic structure and spectroscopy and vibrational spectroscopy. |
