In recent years, the most appealing way to harvest solar energy via cost-effective,
renewable, clean and sustainable technology is the artificial photocatalysis which has drawn …

The technique of acoustic levitation normally produces a standing wave and the potential
well of the sound field can be used to trap small objects. Since no solid surface is involved it …

The chemistry that occurs at surfaces has been an intense area of study for many years
owing to its complexity and importance in describing a wide range of physical phenomena …

Traditionally, the Raman spectrum of ethanol in the C− H vibrational stretching region
between 2800 cm-1 and 3100 cm-1 had been assigned as three bands of the− CH2 …

The gas− liquid interface of halide-free 1, 3-dialkylimidazolium alkyl sulfates [RMIM][R−
OSO3] with R chain length from C1− C4 and C8 has been studied systematically using the …

Using terahertz time-domain spectroscopy (THz-TDS) the complex dielectric response of
mixtures of the prototypical ionic liquid [1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium]+:[BF4]−([bmin] BF4) …

Abstract Infrared (IR)-visible (Vis) sum frequency generation (SFG) is a second-order
nonlinear optical process which is forbidden in centrosymmetric bulk media or isotropic …

The preparation of oil-in-water (o/w) nanoemulsions stabilized with silica nanoparticle sols
has been investigated. The emulsification was performed using a high shear homogenizer …

Although common in nature, the self-assembly of small molecules at sold–liquid interfaces is
difficult to control in artificial systems. The high mobility of dissolved small molecules limits …

Surface-active organic molecules at the liquid–vapor interface are of great importance in
atmospheric science. Therefore, we studied the surface behavior of alcohol isomers with …
