Learning Outcomes: After this unit students will be able to:
* Describe a range of current spectroscopic techniques and understand experimental data derived from spectroscopic experiments;
* Propose suitable methodologies for undertaking spectroscopic experiments;
* Compare techniques and bring together results from different experiments;
* Solve problems using the methods introduced including the application of techniques to unseen situations.


Content:
* Recap of photophysics related to vibrational and electronic spectroscopy.
* Raman spectroscopy and derivatives including surface enhancement and resonance
* Fluorescence spectroscopies including excitation, FRET, anisotropy and lifetime measurements
* Ultrafast spectroscopic techniques
* Transient spectroscopies
* Dichroism spectroscopies.

Skills: Problem solving (T, F, A), Scientific writing (F, A), Independent working (F).

Aims:
* To show a range of advanced spectroscopy techniques used in a wide range of current research and develop understanding of the use and application of such equipment.
* To develop fundamental ideas in spectroscopic experimental design.
