FKE3150 Molecular Response Theory and Spectroscopy
KTH Royal Institute of Technology
The course provides comprehensive presentations of time-dependent response theory and electrodynamics. Response theory is explored in the time and frequency domains and with use of different quantum mechanical formulations. Electrodynamics is targeted towards an understanding of internal and external field interactions in/with molecular systems. More applied lectures cover presentations of linear and nonlinear optical properties, vibrational spectroscopies, UV/vis and X-ray absorption spectroscopies and birefringences, and magnetic resonance spectroscopies.
To understand the theory for interactions between
light and molecular systems, including
- how classical electrodynamic fields are introduced
in the quantum mechanical Hamiltonian - how one from the Schrödinger ekvation determines
response functions in the frequency domain - how a selection of response functions couples to
spectroscopic observables
