Microscopic and Macroscopic Insights into Second Order Nonlinear Optics through Computational and Experimental Routes
DownloadSpring 2023
The challenge with obtaining physical insights into physiochemical phenomena is connecting the macroscopic observables with the microscopic processes in a system. In second-order nonlinear optical spectroscopy, experimental techniques such as vibrational sum frequency generation (vSFG) and second...

The Behaviour and Interactions of the Silica/Water Interface Studied through Nonlinear Optics
DownloadFall 2020
The chemistry of silica in contact with water is rich and diverse. These two substances are among the most ubiquitous on the surface of the Earth. Yet, despite many investigations into the interactions between silica and water, there is still more to discover. In aqueous solution, the silica...
