Vibrational sum-frequency generation (VSFG) spectroscopy is a powerful tool to study
interfaces. Recently, multiplex heterodyne-detected VSFG (HD-VSFG) has been developed …

The water surface has always been a difficult system to study even from early classic
investigations. 1− 3 The lack of techniques, the ease of contamination, and its dynamic …

Discussion on the structure of the water surface relies on accurate determination of the χ (2)
spectrum. For obtaining accurate χ (2) spectrum of the air/water interface in the OH stretch …

Evaporation is an interfacial phenomenon in which a water molecule breaks the
intermolecular hydrogen (H−) bonds and enters the vapor phase. However, a detailed …

The energetically unfavorable termination of the hydrogen-bonded network of water
molecules at the air/water interface causes molecular rearrangement to minimize the free …

Vibrational sum-frequency spectroscopy (SFS) and total internal reflection Raman scattering
(TIR Raman) have been used to study the adsorption of hexadecyltrimethylammonium …

The specificity of ions in inducing conformational changes in macromolecules is introduced
as the Hofmeister series; however, the detailed underlying mechanism is not …

The sum-frequency generation (SFG) spectrum from the water/[1, 2-dimyristoyl-sn-glycero-3-
phosphatidylcholine](DMPC) interface in the OH stretching mode region of water is …

Solution properties of methylcellulose (MC) and hydroxypropylmethylcellulose (HPMC) have
been investigated as a function of temperature and concentration using a broad range of …

The effect of surface roughness on the quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation
monitoring (QCM-D) response was investigated with emphasis on determining the amount …
