Aims
This module for physicists and chemists introduced the basic concepts in molecular spectroscopy, i.e. Infrared (IR), (surface enhanced) Raman- with imaging options and Broadband Dielectric Spectroscopy (BDS), Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy, Optical Microscopy, Superresolution Microscopy and Single Molecule Fluorescence Detection.
Basics
The physical foundation of Infra-Red (IR) Spectroscopy and Broadband Dielectric Spectroscopy (BDS), Raman-, Surface Enhanced Raman-, Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) and Nanoscale spectromicroscopy and Imaging, spectroscopies with imaging options (Nanoscopy) were presented in detail and some of its modern applications were discussed. Additionally lab courses were organized.
Contents
The quantum mechanical foundation of Infrared Spectroscopy; Experimental principles of Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy; the principle of Broadband Dielectric Spectroscopy; modern Applications of Broadband Dielectric Spectroscopy; discussion of the chemical shift Hamiltonian with isotropic and anisotropic parts in NMR spectroscopy, the influence of sample orientation and molecular dynamics on the NMR signals, magic angle spinning.
