Understanding the collective behavior of ions at charged surfaces is of paramount importance for geological and electrochemical processes. Ions screen the surface charge …
Ion specific effects of monovalent salts on charging and aggregation for two types of polystyrene latex particles were investigated by electrophoresis and time-resolved light …
In nature, aqueous solutions often move collectively along solid surfaces (for example, raindrops falling on the ground and rivers flowing through riverbeds). However, the influence …

Isolating the hydrogen-bonding structure of water immediately at the surface is challenging, even with surface-specific techniques like sum-frequency generation (SFG), because of the …
We have used visible-infrared sum-frequency generation spectroscopy to reveal fundamental characteristics of water structure at the fused silica surface. By studying a wide …
