About the course
The course covers essential parts of modern theoretical and experimental photochemistry. Classical and quantum mechanical methods are used to describe fundamental photochemical and photophysical processes in molecules and semiconductors. Particular emphasis is put on the advanced description of photochemical transformations relevant to energy conversion schemes, including photocatalysis and photosynthesis. In addition, applications of photoinduced processes in medicine and industry is covered, as is atmospheric photochemistry and its environmental aspects.
