| Objectives | |
|---|---|
| THE COURSE AIMS TO PROVIDE KNOWLEDGE ABOUT THE BASIC PRINCIPLES OF STATISTICAL THERMODYNAMICS AND THE MECHANISTIC ASPECTS OF CHEMICAL KINETICS. AT THE END OF THE COURSE, STUDENTS KNOW THE RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN MACROSCOPIC AND MICROSCOPIC QUANTITIES; HOW TO DETERMINE THERMODYNAMIC QUANTITIES FROM MICROSCOPIC MEASUREMENTS AND ARE ABLE TO APPLY THE COLLISION AND THE TRANSITION STATE THEORY. THEY WILL ALSO KNOW A FEW NOTIONS ABOUT TIME-RESOLVED SPECTROSCOPY AND ITS USE FOR THE DETERMINATION OF REACTION MECHANISMS. |
| Prerequisites | |
|---|---|
| BASIC KNOWLEDGE OF CLASSICAL MECHANICS, ELECTROMAGNETISM, AND CALCULUS |
| Contents | |
|---|---|
| MEASUREMENTS; TIME AND STATISTICAL AVERAGES; PROBABILITY DENSITY FUNCTION; LIOUVILLE'S THEOREM; THE PHASE SPACE; MICROCANONICAL ENSEMBLE; ENTROPY. THERMAL, MECHANICAL AND PARTICLE EQUILIBRIA. EQUATION OF STATE OF A CLASSICAL IDEAL GAS (2 CFU16 HR). GIBBS' PARADOX, MIXING ENTROPY. THE MICROCANONICAL ENSEMBLE IN QUANTUM STATISTICAL MECHANICS; THE CANONICAL ENSEMBLE; DISTINGUISHABLE AND INDISTINGUISHABLE PARTICLES. ELECTRONIC AND NUCLEAR PARTITION FUNCTION. MONATOMIC CRYSTAL. IDEAL MONATOMIC AND DIATOMIC GAS. PHASE TRANSITIONS (2CFU 16 HR). VELOCITY DISTRIBUTION OF GAS MOLECULES. COLLISION THEORY; TRANSITION STATE THEORY (1 CFU 8 HR). LASER; INTRODUCTION TO TIME RESOLVED SPECTROSCOPY (1CFU 8 HR) |
| Teaching Methods | |
|---|---|
| THE TEACHING CONSISTS OF FRONT LESSONS OF 48 HOURS (6 CFU). NUMERICAL EXERCISES ARE ALSO PROVIDED AS INTEGRATION OF THEORETICAL LESSONS. |
| Verification of learning | |
|---|---|
| THE ACHIEVEMENT OF THE TEACHING OBJECTIVES IS CERTIFIED BY PASSING AN UNIVERSITY SCHEDULED EXAMINATION SCORED FROM 0-30. THE EXAM CONSISTS OF AN INTERVIEW WITH QUESTIONS AND DISCUSSIONS ON THEORETICAL AND METHODOLOGICAL CONTENT LISTED IN THE TEACHING PROGRAM AND IS DESIGNED TO ENSURE THE LEVEL OF KNOWLEDGE AND SKILL UNDERSTANDING REACHED BY THE STUDENT, AS WELL AS TESTING THE EXPOSURE CAPACITY BY USING THE APPROPRIATE TERMINOLOGY AND THE ABILITY TO AUTONOMOUSLY ORGANIZE MEASUREMENTS AND DATA MANAGING. THE MAXIMUM MARK IS ACHIEVED WHEN THE STUDENT DEMONSTRATES TO BE ABLE TO ILLUSTRATE CORRECTLY ALL THE TOPICS PROPOSED IN THE EXAMINATION. EXCELLENCE REQUIRES DEMONSTRATION OF MASTERING PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS. |
