The aim of the course is to teach the students methods and applications of quantum mechanics in
description of matter-matter interactions; at the scale of one or a few atoms and energy scales
around several electron volts. In particular we present the approximated methods, method of self
consistent field and variational methods in atomic physics.
Quantum mechanics and Classical electrodynamics courses.
LECTURE: One-electron atoms. Eigenvalues, quantum numbers, degeneracy, Zeeman effect, spin.
The orbit-spin interaction. Identical particles, Pauli rule Multielectron atoms. Hartree-Fock theory,
the self consistent field. The periodic table. Optical excitations, atomic spectra. Molecules, Born-
Oppenheimer theory, LCAO MO theory. Molecular spectra, rotation, vibration-rotation and electron
spectra. Raman effect.
CLASS: A hydrogen atom, quantum numbers, atom orbitals, spin. Multielectron atoms, the
periodic table. The orbit-spin interaction, atomic spectra. Molecules spectra.
Conventional lectures, calculate class.
