Abstract

Some results of studies on liquid interfaces using second-harmonic and sum-frequency generation methods will be reported. Among the subjects to be presented are polarization of water and the interface potential at charged interfaces, including charged-monolayer air-water interfaces and the charged silica-water interface. Other areas to be included are the chemical environment and structure at liquid interfaces and the dynamics of molecular rotation and excited-state structural changes at liquid interfaces.
