Synchrotron radiation is an important tool for
elucidating the electronic and atomic structuresthat govern the properties and functions ofmatter.
In the first half, we will give a lecture onelectromagnetic radiation generation from
relativistic electron beams (synchrotron radiation)and basic knowledge of optics. In the second half,
we will summarize the interaction between lightand matter, and outline the basic technology andapplication development of physical property
analysis methods (photoelectron spectroscopy,X-ray absorption spectroscopy, etc.) usingsynchrotron radiation.
A tour of UVSOR will also be conducted.

This course gives an introductory overview offundamental theories of quantum chemistry andstatistical mechanis. A special emphasis is placedon understanding basic ideas of electronic
structure theories of molecular properties and of
static and dynamics properies in (non) equilibriumstate.

This course gives an introductory overview offundamental theories in physical chemistry with afocus on quantum mechanics and statisticalmechanics. A special emphasis is placed on thefundamental understanding of dynamical
processes in molecular systems and light-matterinteraction.

Photoexcitation and photoionization processes
can provide detailed information on the molecularproperties and are in widespread use of thephysical and chemical sciences. This lecture
provides the student with a firm grounding in thebasic principles and experimental techniques
employed. Use of case studies illustrates how
photoabsorption and photoelectron spectra areassigned and how information can be extraced.
