Annotation -
The aim of the lectures is to introduce students to basics of photochemistry and its applications to (nano)materials.
The lectures cover introduction to photochemistry, characterization of photophysical and photochemical processes,
their basic descriptions, quantum yields, photochemical laws and their application to selected (nano)materials.
