Introduction Quantum mechanics of electrons, electrons in periodic potentials, phonons, plasmons, magnons. 2. Electromagnetic radiation ( EM ) Light sources, detectors, spectral decomposition of light (optical filters, monochromators and spectrometers, interferometers). 3. The dielectric function Optical constants and dispersion relation, the dielectric function of the material, which includes phonon, plasmon and spin ordering related absorption; experimental determination of the dielectric function (ellipsometry). 4. Spectroscopy in the visible spectral range of EM radiation Optical absorption (fundamental , impurity), luminescence. 5. Symmetry and selection rules in crystals The symmetry of molecules and crystals; group theory representations, point, diperiodic and space groups, a factor group analysis. 6. Light scattering spectroscopies The experimental techniques, Raman scattering, calculation of the intensity of Raman scattering, Raman tensors; Raman scattering in disordered systems, resonant Raman scattering; Brillouine and Rayleigh scattering. 7. Infrared spectroscopy Light sources, optical components and detectors in the infrared and far-infrared part of the spectrum, Fourier spectroscopy. 8. UV and X-ray spectroscopy x - ray fluorescence, x - ray electron spectroscopy. 9. Nuclear spectroscopic methods in solid state physics ESR , NMR, Moessbauer spectroscop, muon-SR, neutron spectroscopy, spectroscopy of charged particles (positron, electron, ion). |
