How to distinguish various components of the SHG signal recorded from the solid/liquid interface?
2016
Abstract Second harmonic generation (SHG) may be an important tool to probe buried solid/liquid interfaces because of its inherent surface sensitivity. A detailed interpretation of dye adsorption onto Si-SiO 2 wafer is not straightforward because both adsorbent and adsorbate contribute to the overall SHG signal. The polarization resolved SHG analysis points out that the adsorbent and adsorbate contributions are out of phase by π/2 in the present system. The surface nonlinear susceptibility χ (2) represents thus a complex tensor in which its real part is related to the adsorbent contribution and its imaginary part to the adsorbate one.
