Objectives of the Course

The aim of this course is to provide students with an understanding of the interaction mechanisms between electromagnetic radiation and matter and the fundamental principles of spectroscopy. The course aims to teach the operating principles of different spectroscopic techniques, the analysis and interpretation of spectral data, and the applications of these methods in physics, materials science, and related fields.

Course Content

This course covers the fundamental properties of electromagnetic waves and the interaction mechanisms between electromagnetic radiation and matter. Fundamental concepts of spectroscopy, the physical basis of spectroscopic measurements, and methods for spectral data evaluation are discussed. In addition, the operating principles, experimental applications, and characterization capabilities of infrared (IR), Raman, ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis), and photoluminescence spectroscopy techniques are examined.The properties of electromagnetic waves, the interaction of electromagnetic radiation with matter, introduction to spectroscopy, spectroscopic methods and applications
