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

We present an overview of studies on the ultrafast dynamics of water at aqueous interfaces
carried out by time-resolved vibrational sum frequency generation (VSFG) spectroscopies …

Phase-sensitive vibrational sum frequency generation is employed to investigate the water
structure at phospholipid/water interfaces. Interfacial water molecules are oriented …

Lipid/water interfaces and associated interfacial water are vital for various biochemical
reactions, but the molecular-level understanding of their property is very limited. We …

The chemistry of environmental interfaces such as oxide and carbonate surfaces under
ambient conditions of temperature and relative humidity is of great interest from many …

Cell membrane/water interfaces provide a unique environment for many biochemical
reactions, and associated interfacial water is an integral part of such reactions. A molecular …

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 …

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 …

Many biological processes such as photosynthesis and signal transduction proceed at
lipid/water interfaces. Although water molecules inside lipid membranes are considered to …

Time-resolved sum frequency generation (tr-SFG) reveals that the vibrational energy
relaxation rate of O− H stretching of dilute HDO in D2O at the silica interface is markedly …
