Prerequisites
This lecture is suitable for master students or for students in first years of doctoral studies. In case of need for a bachelor thesis, it is possible to pass the lecture already in third year of the bachelor studies.
Course Enrolment Limitations
The course is offered to students of any study field.
Course objectives
The main objective of the course is to explain to students the construction of spectroscopic systems, principles of measurements and basics of data analysis. The main focus is on optical spectroscopy from infrared to ultraviolet range, the lecture includes the X-ray spectroscopy and nuclear magnetic resonance as well.
Learning outcomes
Student will be after the course able:
- to get oriented in spectroscopic quantities and its units
- to get oriented in components of spectroscopic systems and design simple experiments
- to get oriented in basic physical principles of spectroscopies, for example infrared, Raman, X-ray and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy.
