Infrared spetroscopy

Infrared spectroscopy investigates

such internal physical phenomenas of molecules whose energy corresponds to quantum of infrared photons.

 

The energy of IR quanta is smaller than that of visible light and higher than  microwaves. 

 

Experimental data about the phenomenas is achieved with the radiation trasnmitted or absorped by the examined molecule.

IRresearch in Oulu

Infrared group of Oulu has investigated especially rotation-vibration physics  of linear and symmetric top molecules.

Understanding resonance efects has been one of the main goal.

 

 

Asymmetrical molecules have been under investigation since the late 1990's. Torsional vibrations and other large aplitude motions inside molecules have  also been a new topic in the group of Oulu.

 

Infrared spectroscopy is experimental research, where the setup of the measurement has very important role. Since the early 1960's Infrared group of Oulu has developed instruments, experimental and calculation methods  for the research.  Thanks to this development accurate spectra could have been measured in Oulu part of which have been accepted for international standards.
