- Credit Hours: 1R-0L-1C
- Term Available: SeeDept
- Graduate Studies Eligible: Yes
- Prerequisites: CHEM 225
- Corequisites: None
This course explores various theoretical and practical aspects of Raman spectroscopy including fundamental vibrational modes of molecules and selection rules, the physicochemical origin of Raman scattering, Raman spectrometers, lasers, resonance Raman spectroscopy, surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS), and applications of Raman spectroscopy. The course includes an independent project in which a Raman spectrum is acquired for a sample of interest.
