Applications of Advanced Spectroscopic Methods
Question 1: Use properties of electronic potential energy surfaces to account for dynamical outcomes of chemical reactions.
Question 2: Evaluate scenarios in which the Born-Oppenheimer approximation breaks down, and how that affects reaction outcomes. This should include a basic mathematical analysis of how potential energy surfaces behave in close proximity.
Question 3: Demonstrate critical awareness and understanding of experimental techniques for probing gas phase spectroscopy and reaction dynamics.
Question 4: Demonstrate the ability to design experimental parameters to solve novel gas phase chemical and/or spectroscopic challenges.
Question 5: Demonstrate critical awareness and understanding of experimental methods of determining surface structural and spectroscopic information.
Question 6: Systematically understand key aspects of surface structure notation and demonstrate its application in new situations.
Question 7: Formulate solutions to problems in surface structure and spectroscopy where information may be incomplete.
Question 8: Demonstrate critical awareness of the problems inherent in obtaining information from surfaces under ambient conditions.
Question 9: Critically debate the capability of the techniques being employed to address these problems.
Question 10: Interpret and critically evaluate data acquired from a range of surface sensitive spectroscopies and microscopies.
Question 11: Formulate solutions to problems of obtaining specific information under ambient conditions.
