Advanced Physical Chemistry (I)

 

Part 1 (Week 1-Week7)

Lecturer: Prof. Sheng-Hsien Lin  (林聖賢教授)

Outline:

  • Classical Mechanics
  • Schrodinger Equation
  • Some Simple Systems
  • Hydrogen Atom
  • Approximation Methods

Introduction:

First present the methods of Newton equations of motion, Lagrange’s equations of motion and Hamiton equations of motion and show how to employ these methods to treat dynamical problems.These will then be compared with quantum mechanical treatments. Particle in a box, harmonic oscillator rigid rotator and hydrogen atom will be solved Approximation methods like perturbation method and variational method will be presented.
