Course Overview

Advanced theoretical spectroscopy in the realm of (bio)molecular systems. The formulae used to extract observables of experimental interest, such as infrared spectra, dynamical and static structure factors, are derived from scratch in full detail.

Learning Achievement

Students acquire advanced knowledge on the theory of theoretical spectroscopy in the realm of (bio)molecular systems such as (bio)molecules, clusters, liquids, solids and surfaces. Students can learn about all underlying approximations of the formulae used to extract observables, and thus their limitations, with a focus on (bio)molecular condensed matter systems.
