Special block course on
Excited states: properties, dynamics and spectroscopy
When? Oct 5-8, 2015 Where? Department of Physics, Freie Universität Berlin Arnimallee 14, 14195 Berlin (close to U3 station Dahlem Dorf) Hörsaal A/1.3.14 (Monday-Wednesday), Hörsaal B/0.1.01 (Thursday) Excited states of solids and molecules are of central importance in dynamic processes (like chemical reactions) and determine many properties (such as the thermodynamic, electric and optical response) of the system.
The lectures of this course will discuss the fundamentals of excited states (in particular at surfaces/interfaces), their experimental investigation (e.g. by optical transmission, Raman scattering and photoemission spectroscopy) and theoretical treatment (by quantum-chemical and DFT methods).
