Moodlekurs zu Seminar und Vorlesung

Molecular Physics and Spectroscopy I is a graduate course, i.e., can be used to obtain credit points for the Master degree. This is the first of two courses (the second one usually given in the summer term). The topic of the course are the basics of molecular physic and molecular spectroscopy (e.g. rotational spectroscopy)
