STRUCTURE OF MATTER
Course objectives
GENERAL OBJECTIVES: The goal of the course is to study the foundations of material’s structure, providing the basis of atomic and molecular physics, with an elementary introduction to solid state physics, starting from knowledge and methods of quantum mechanics. The student, at the end of the course, will acquire basic concepts to determine energy eigenvalues ang eigenstates of atomic and molecular systems unser external fields. The developed know-how will be fundamental for the advanced condensed matter and solid state physics courses. SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES: A - Knowledge and understanding OF 1) To know foundations of atomic and molecular physics, and basics elements of solid state physics OF 2) To understand energy spectra and eigenstates of atomic, molecular and solid state systems. OF 3) Undesratnd principles of light-matter interaction. B - Application skills OF 4) Learn how to apply principles of quantum mechanics do describe atoms and molecules. OF 5) Solve problems related to atomic and molecular spectra OF 6) To be able to apply perturbative and variational techniques to evaluate eigenvalues and eigenstates at atoms and molecules C - Autonomy of judgment OF 7) To be able to apply in the future the acquired skills to the more general context of condensed matter physics D - Communication skills OF 8) To know how to communicate the critical steps necessary to solve elementary problems dealing with material structure E - Ability to learn OF 10) Have the ability to autonomously consult basic textbooks and in some cases scientific articles to expand the knowledge developed in the course
