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...

Fall 2017
Nonlinear optical techniques are widely used for surface analysis, as they are surface specific and can be used to probe interfaces of insulators such as silica. Silica is commonly found in nature such as reservoirs of natural water and oils. Nonetheless, it is not clear how silica interacts with...

Studying the Molecular Structure of Aqueous/Mineral Oxide Interfaces by Vibrational Sum Frequency Generation Spectroscopy and Zeta Potential Measurements
DownloadFall 2021
Water/mineral oxide interfaces are ubiquitous in various atmospheric, geological, biological, and industrial systems. Hence, studying such abundant interfaces is essential for understanding the macroscopic interfacial reactions, such as adsorption/desorption, dissolution, flocculation,...
