Advanced Photochemistry
Course content
The course focus on photophysical properties of molecular systems, in particular related to UV-Vis absorption and fluorescence. Special emphasis is on: energy and electron transfer, polarization, and solvent effects, single molecule spectroscopy and super resolution imaging, time resolved fluorescence and transient absorption.
MSc Programme in Chemistry with a minor subject
MSc Programme in Nanoscience
After having passed the course, the student should be able to:
Knowledge:
Concepts of the interaction of light with molecules
Concepts of photo physical manifestations of the local molecular environment
Concepts of for the kinetics involved in deactivation of electronically excited states of molecules
Concepts of the basics of photo induced electron transfer
Concepts of steady-state and time-resolved anisotropy of fluorescence emission
Concepts of the principles of steady-state and time-resolved experimental techniques
Concepts of resonance energy transfer and its applications
Concepts of application of fluorescence techniques in sensors
Concepts of single molecule fluorescence techniques
Concepts of super resolution fluorescence imaging
Skills:
- Apply the above mentioned knowledge for understanding and calculating photophysical properties of molecular systems.
Competency:
- Read contemporary research papers on photophysics, understand
them, present them and write an self consistent essay on
it.
Lectures, student presentations, discussions, and preparation individually and/or in groups.
