FYS-3005 Molecular quantum mechanics

Emnebeskrivelse

Work Load 10  credits (ECTS)

Type of course Theoretical subject.

Level of course/Year of study Master level course.

Language of instruction Norwegian, or English by request

Examination semester Autumn

Contents This course builds on previous knowledge in physics corresponding to FYS-2000 Quantum Mechanics. The most common methods for finding approximate solutions to the Schrödinger equation are treated. These methods and an elementary quantum mechanical formalism are the basis for a description of the stationary properties of molecules. This description includes both the electronic structure and the vibration/rotational structure of molecules.
