Chemistry 030.638 Spectroscopy of Diatomic Molecules

(not offered in the current academic year)

A detailed study of diatomic molecules will be undertaken by rotational, vibrational, and electronic spectroscopy. The Born-Oppenheimer approximation, Hund's coupling cases, angular momentum coupling tecnhiques, Wigner-Eckart theorem, selection rules, intensity factors, external fields, and related topics will be discussed.
