Prel. scheduled hours: 48
Rec. self-study hours: 112

  Area of Education: Physics

Subject area: Technology

  Advancement level (A-D): C

Aim:
Quantum mechanical description and spectroscopic determination of the structure of atoms and molecules. This course gives the students the physical-chemistry background necessary to tackle more advanced courses in organic electronics.

Prerequisites: (valid for students admitted to programmes within which the course is offered)
TNG012 Physical Modelling

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:
Lectures, tutorials

Course contents:
Application of basic quantum mechanics to describe the formation of bonds in molecules and between molecules. The Schrödinger equation is used to extract the electronic structure of small conjugated molecules. Bloch's theorem is applied to monomer units to predict the electronic structure of conjugated polymers. Spectroscopic techniques are introduced to show how to characterize various molecular properties: molecular vibrations, optical excitations and electronic structure. The principle of those spectroscopies is introduced using quantum mechanics.

Course literature:
Scientific papers, lecture notes
