Optical second harmonic and sum-frequency generation has evolved into a useful spectroscopic tool for material characterization, especially as a viable and powerful technique for probing surfaces and interfaces. This book serves as an introduction on the technique. It provides a comprehensible description on the basics of the technique and gives detailed accounts with illustrating examples on the wide range of applications of the technique. It clearly points out the unique capabilities of the technique as a spectroscopic tool for studies of bulk and interface structures in different disciplines.
This book is an updated version of an earlier book on the same subject, but it puts more emphasis on physical concepts and description. It underscores recent advances of sum-frequency spectroscopy at the technical front as well as over its wide range of applications, with the author's perspective in each area. Most chapters end with a section of summary and prospects that hopefully can help stimulate interest to further develop the technique and explore possibilities of applying the technique.
Contents:
- Introduction
- Basic Theory of Sum Frequency Generation
- Experimental Considerations on Sum Frequency Spectroscopy
- Sum Frequency Spectroscopy for Bulk Characterization
- Sum Frequency Chiral Spectroscopy
- Molecular Adsorption at Surfaces and Interfaces
- Interfacial Structures of Bulk Materials
- Interfaces of Water and Ice
- Polymer Interfaces
- Biological Interfaces
- Miscellaneous
- Prospects
Readership: Researchers/graduate students in spectroscopy and novel techniques for surface and interface studies. More generally, interdisciplinary readership in physics, chemistry, surface science, materials science, polymer science and life sciences.
Key Features:
- Useful comprehensive guide for researchers adopting second harmonic and sum-frequency spectroscopy
- Updated reference materials for professionals in the field
- Integrates confusing and conflicting information present in current literature
- Descriptions are more physical and comprehensible, enabling easier learning for readers
