Although the importance of water interfaces has long been well recognized, studies of the
interfaces at the molecular level only began more recently. 1-3 The difficulty lies in the fact …

Aqueous surfaces and interfaces are important in many physical, chemical, and biological
processes in our world. The adsorption, dissolution, and reaction of atmospheric gases at …

Liquid interfaces play a fundamental role in science and technology. The development of
surface-sensitive probes capable of yielding molecular information about these interfaces is …

In IR and Raman spectral studies, the congestion of the vibrational modes in the C− H
stretching region between 2800 and 3000 cm-1 has complicated spectral assignment …

The ubiquitous nature of water makes the study of water both practical and relevant. Yet in
this advanced technological age, many important, fundamental questions remain …

This paper reviews aspects of nonlinear optical spectroscopy of interfaces. The emphasis is
put on second-order nonlinear optical techniques, such as sum-frequency generation (SFG) …

During the past decade vibrational sum frequency generation as a method to study
interfaces has matured and can now be applied more routinely to systems of increasing …

In this paper we report detailed examples of the surface sum frequency generation
vibrational spectroscopy (SFG-VS) as a polarization spectroscopic technique for vibrational …

An important issue for developing a molecular-level mechanism of heterogeneous
interactions at the aqueous interface is determining changes in the interface with changes in …

The structure of water was investigated at the quartz/water interface in the presence of
supported lipid bilayers (SLBs) by the use of infrared− visible sum frequency spectroscopy …
