Immobilization of proteins on a solid support is critical with respect to the fabrication and
performance of biosensors and biochips. Protein attachment with a preferable orientation …

Room-temperature ionic liquids are a new class of liquids with many important uses in
electrical and electrochemical devices. The liquids are composed purely of ions in the liquid …

Sum frequency generation (SFG) vibrational spectroscopy has been developed into an
important technique to study surfaces and interfaces. It can probe buried interfaces in situ …

The ordered arrangement of water molecules at solid surfaces is a consequence of
hydrogen-bonding opportunities, electrostatic and dipolar interactions, and specific …

Hypothesis The monoalkyl diamine surfactant, N-dodecylpropane-1, 3-diamine (DPDA), is
expected to exhibit a pH-dependent charge switchability. In response to pH changes, the …

In this review, we discuss the recent developments and applications of vibrational sum-
frequency generation (VSFG) microscopy. This hyperspectral imaging technique can resolve …

Role of substrate type, gold or silver, and surface roughness on the parity odd–even effect in
n-alkanethiolate (n= 10–16) self-assembled monolayers (SAMs), materials of potential …

Sum frequency generation imaging microscopy has been developed and implemented in
different systems from self-assembled monolayer on metal surfaces to reaction of a metal …

The zwitterionic dithiocarboxylates 1+–CS2−–4+–CS2− were prepared by reacting the
corresponding N-heterocyclic carbenes 1, 3-bis (2, 6-diisoproylphenyl) imidazol-2-ylidene …

Sum frequency generation (SFG) imaging is used to monitor, in situ, the reaction of cyanide
ions with gold surface. Spatial and chemical variations across the surface are observed as a …
