Overview of class

Chemical dynamics of atoms, molecules, and materials in gas and condensed phases: This graduate level course explores the microscopic dynamics at atomic and molecular levels that give rise to the macroscopic chemical kinetics that are typically understood by a rate of a chemical reaction or process. The course covers both elementary dynamics occurring in gas phases and the more complex dynamics of molecular ensembles in condensed phase environments and at interfaces.

Registration Requirements

Registration in this class is restricted to graduate students in the Chemistry Department and Chemistry undergraduate majors. Other students may register with department permission.
