Objectives of Programme's Learning Outcomes

• In the field of chemistry, possess highly specialised and integrated knowledge and a wide range of skills adding to those covered in the Bachelor's programme in chemistry.
• Help lead and complete a major development project, individually or in teams, related to chemistry.
• Mobilise, articulate and promote the knowledge and skills acquired.
• Assess the degree of complexity of the project and take into account the objectives, allocated resources and constraints that characterise it.
• Demonstrate independence and their ability to work alone or in teams.
• Manage research, development and innovation within chemistry and/or its applications.
• Understand unprecedented problems in chemistry.
• Mobilise their knowledge effectively, identify their limits, conduct methodical research and critically analyse scientifically valid information.
• Possibly propose innovative solutions to targeted problems, which also requires attentiveness and mutual respect, as well as argue and establish constructive debates.

Learning Outcomes of UE

The student will be able to: - Understand and describe using the adapted nomenclature the different interactions that may exist between matter and the electromagnetic radiation. - Interpreting the results of the interaction between matter and the electromagnetic radiation to deduce information about the atomic and molecular structure, the electronic structure and / or to evaluate the relative concentration of the material .

Content of UE

• Quantum mechanics basics • Interaction of electromagnetic radiation with matter • Electron spectroscopy of diatomic molecules and polyatomic • Electron Spectroscopy of Nanostructures • Synchrotron radiation basics • Spectroscopic methods ( photoelectron spectroscopy, Auger spectroscopy, X-ray absorption ( XANES / EXAFS ) and energy loss spectroscopy ( EELS)
