Optical second-harmonic generation and the related technique of infrared–visible light sum-
frequency generation are extremely versatile tools for studies of many kinds of surfaces and …

Proteins at interfaces play important roles in cell biology, immunology, bioengineering, and
biomimetic material design. Many biological processes are based on interfacial protein …

Physics and Chemistry of Interfaces Comprehensive textbook on the interdisciplinary field of
interface science, fully updated with new content on wetting, spectroscopy, and coatings …

Proteins exhibit structural fluctuations over decades of time scales. From the picosecond
side chain motions to aggregates that form over the course of minutes, characterizing protein …

A powerful approach to the study of interfaces has been develo** rapidly in the past
decade. It is based on the spectroscopic methods of secondharmonic (SHG) and sum …

The interfacial regions between bulk media, although often comprising only a fraction of the
material present, are frequently the site of reactions and phenomena that dominate the …

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 …

Using infrared-visible sum-frequency generation as a probe, we have obtained the
vibrational spectrum of a monolayer of pentadecanoic acid on a water surface in the CH …

Infrared spectroscopy has become a useful tool to investigate surfaces. The theoretical and
experimental foundation of surface IR spectroscopy is described and selected examples are …

Sum-frequency spectroscopy (SFS) is a non-linear optical technique that yields vibrational
spectra of molecules at interfaces. A brief summary of the theoretical background to SFS is …
