||
|
Area of Education: Science Subject area: Physics |
|||
| Advancement level
(A-D): D
|
|||
| Aim: After completed the course, the student should have a good understanding of basic group theory and be able to apply it on relevant physical systems. The course should also give a deeper understanding of well known notions as classical conservation laws and quantum mechanical selection rules. |
|||
| Prerequisites: (valid for students admitted to programmes within which the course is offered) Participation in NFYC58 Quantum Mechanics and Molecular Physics, NFYC56 Solid State Physics and NFYC51 Mathematical methods of physics 1. Note: Admission requirements for non-programme students usually also include admission requirements for the programme and threshhold requirements for progression within the programme, or corresponding. |
|||
| Organisation: The course is given in the form of lectures. |
|||
| Course contents: Fundamentals of group theory; groups, classes, representations. Applications on quantum mechanical and classical problems; degeneration and selection rules, integrals of motion, modes of vibration and molecular vibrations, point groups and crystal fields. |
|||
| Course literature: Elliot and Dawber: Symmetry in physics vol 1. |
|||
| Examination: | |||
| Hand-in exercises and oral or written examination |
