Brief

The atomic and molecular spectroscopy is an important technique used in the field of physics, chemistry as well as biology. This course provides an introduction to the principle of spectroscopy, molecular symmetry and light-matter interaction. In addition, different types of spectroscopies, including vibrational, electronic and photoelectronic type, will also be discussed. After studying this course, the students should be able to apply the atomic and molecular spectroscopy to their research.
