An Introduction to Spectroscopy and Quantum Structure
This textbook provides an accessible description of the basic concepts of atomic and molecular quantum structure, and how we probe that structure using light. The ideas described here underpin many aspects of modern science in fields such as quantum computing, astrophysics and astronomy, environmental and atmospheric chemistry, and nanotechnology, to name a few. The content of this book is appropriate for those who are new to the field, such as undergraduate students, and can also be a valuable reference for non-practitioners who are interested in the subject. There are many in-chapter examples, end-of-chapter questions, and detailed workbooks included (at the end of the book) which will help the reader practice applying the material as they make their way through the text. Accompanying master classes and tutorial videos are available on the CPPC Spectroscopy YouTube channel.
W. Scott Hopkins is an Associate Professor of Chemistry at the University of Waterloo, Canada. He earned his PhD in Physical Chemistry from the University of New Brunswick, Canada, in 2006, specializing in high-resolution molecular beam spectroscopy. He conducted postdoctoral research in molecular spectroscopy and dynamics at Queen’s University, Canada, the University of Cambridge, and the University of Oxford, and his current research focuses on combining ion mobility, mass spectrometry, and laser spectroscopy. He has published more than 100 peer-reviewed articles and patents, and he has earned both the Keith Laidler Award of the Canadian Society for Chemistry and the PerkinElmer Award of the Canadian Society for Analytical Sciences and Spectroscopy.
