Advanced Spectroscopy
Module 860C1
Module details for 2024/25.
15 credits
FHEQ Level 7 (Masters)
Module Outline
This module explores the latest advances in Spectroscopy. It is based on recent developments in the subject, combining lectures and workshops, research talks, directed and independent reading and a critical work. Lectures will present current advances, with a focus on modern spectroscopic techniques for structure elucidation, investigation of molecular dynamics and ultra-sensitive detection and their application across chemistry, physics and biology. Workshops will provide a discussion forum for problem-solving activities.
