Abstract The Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) technique is a way of making supra-molecular
assembly in ultrathin films with a controlled layered structure and crystal parameter, which …

We review the current state of multiphoton microscopy. In particular, the requirements and
limitations associated with high-speed multiphoton imaging are considered. A description of …

Heterodyne-detected electronic sum frequency generation (HD-ESFG) spectroscopy is
newly developed to obtain complex electronic χ (2) spectra of interfaces for a simultaneous …

We present a method for determining molecular orientation from second-order nonlinear
light scattering experiments. Our modeling shows that there is an optimal angular region, for …

We examine the temperature dependence of the interfacial molecular structure at the water–
air interface by combining experimental and simulated sum-frequency generation (SFG) …

The aim of this work is to present a coherent description of the microscopic theory of surface
nonlinear optical spectroscopy for solving practical problems in understanding the details of …

Specific ion effects on the nonlinear optical response from the water molecules at the
air/sodium halide solution interfaces are measured using non-resonant surface second …

Recent developments in sum frequency generation-vibrational spectroscopy (SFG-VS) have
shown that SFG-VS is not only a spectroscopic probe of the molecular interfaces but also an …

We present here a straightforward, broadly applicable technique for real-time detection and
measurement of protein conformational changes in solution. This method is based on …

Many experimental and theoretical studies have established the specific anion, as well as
cation, effects on the hydrogen-bond structures at the air/water interface of electrolyte …
