Interface tunable

In order to achieve a reasonable signal strength from the nonlinear response of approximately one atomic monolayer at an interface, a laser source with high peak power is generally required. Conuuon sources include Q-switched ( 10 ns pulsewidth) and mode-locked ( 100 ps) Nd YAG lasers, and mode-locked ( 10 fs-1 ps) Ti sapphire lasers. Broadly tunable sources have traditionally been based on dye lasers. More recently, optical parametric oscillator/amplifier (OPO/OPA) systems are coming into widespread use for tunable sources of both visible and infrared radiation. [Pg.1281]

Figure Bl.5.12 SH and SF spectra (frill dots) for the CaF2/Si(l 11) interface (a) SH intensity as a fiinction of the photon energy of the tunable laser (b) SF intensity obtamed by mixmg the tunable laser with radiation at a fixed photon energy of 1.17 eV. For comparison, the open circles in (a) are signals obtained for a native-oxide covered Si(l 11). The fiill line is a fit to the theory as discussed in [79].

Second-order NLO processes, including SFG, are strictly forbidden in media with inversion symmetry under the electric dipole approximation and are allowed only at the interface between these media where the inversion symmetry is necessarily broken. In the IR-Visible SFG measurement, a visible laser beam (covis) and a tunable infrared laser beam (cOir) are overlapped at an interface and the SFG signal is measured by scanning cOir while keeping cOvis constant. The SFG intensity (Isfg) is enhanced when coir becomes equal to the vibration levels of the molecules at the interface. Thus, one can obtain surface-specific vibrational spectra at an interface... [Pg.72]

The fundamental physical properties of nanowire materials can be improved even more to surpass their bulk counterpart using precisely engineered NW heterostructures. It has been recently demonstrated that Si/Ge/Si core/shell nanowires exhibit electron mobility surpassing that of state-of-the-art technology.46 Group III-V nitride core/shell NWs of multiple layers of epitaxial structures with atomically sharp interfaces have also been demonstrated with well-controlled and tunable optical and electronic properties.47,48 Together, the studies demonstrate that semiconductor nanowires represent one of the best-defined nanoscale building block classes, with well-controlled chemical composition, physical size, and superior electronic/optical properties, and therefore, that they are ideally suited for assembly of more complex functional systems. [Pg.354]

By employing a laser for the photoionization (not to be confused with laser desorption/ ionization, where a laser is irradiating a surface, see Section 2.1.21) both sensitivity and selectivity are considerably enhanced. In 1970 the first mass spectrometric analysis of laser photoionized molecular species, namely H2, was performed [54]. Two years later selective two-step photoionization was used to ionize mbidium [55]. Multiphoton ionization mass spectrometry (MPI-MS) was demonstrated in the late 1970s [56—58]. The combination of tunable lasers and MS into a multidimensional analysis tool proved to be a very useful way to investigate excitation and dissociation processes, as well as to obtain mass spectrometric data [59-62]. Because of the pulsed nature of most MPI sources TOF analyzers are preferred, but in combination with continuous wave lasers quadrupole analyzers have been utilized [63]. MPI is performed on species already in the gas phase. The analyte delivery system depends on the application and can be, for example, a GC interface, thermal evaporation from a surface, secondary neutrals from a particle impact event (see Section 2.1.18), or molecular beams that are introduced through a spray interface. There is a multitude of different source geometries. [Pg.25]

Electrodeposition of mesoporous materials has also been reported, thus taking advantage of tunable charges at the surface-liquid interface control assembly patterns while depositing electrically active films, even at reduced concentrations of the SDA [260-264],... [Pg.447]

Gieseler et al. utilized tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy to detect water vapor concentrations, gas velocities and mass flow during freeze-drying of pure water at different pressure and shelf temperature settings and of a 5%w/w mannitol solution. The analyzer was interfaced to the spool that connected the dryer chamber to the condenser. The reported method was advantageous in that primary and secondary drying end-point control based upon mass flow rate was independent of freeze-dryer size and configuration. ... [Pg.454]

Tuning of the pre-tilt angle at the interface was also demonstrated by doping commonly used polyimide alignment layers with POSS nanoparticles [339]. In addition, the fabrication of a tunable liquid crystal flat microlens was achieved by placing a drop of a nematic liquid crystal doped with POSS nanoparticles onto a substrate inducing planar alignment (local HAN mode) [340]. Simultaneously, Takatoh and co-workers extended this concept to a series of metal oxide... [Pg.355]

In our laboratory we use the 1064-nm output of an injection-seeded Nd YAG laser that pumps a potassium titanyl phosphate (KTP) OPO/OPA assembly. This system produces 3.5nanosecond pulses and tunable IR from 2.5 pm (4000 cm ) to 5 pm (1975 cm" ) with energies available at the interface ranging from 4 mJ to 1 mJ at the two respective limits. It operates with 1 cm" resolution and has a variable repetition rate (1-100 Hz). [Pg.36]

Because of the short lifetime of ions in gaseous atmospheres, even at low pressure, gas-phase IR measurements are limited to adsorption of neutral molecules. Electrochemical applications of the IR method offer the interesting possibility of providing data on the adsorption properties of charged particles (Secs. 8 and 9). In the electrochemical environment the applied potential allows ionic adsorbates to be studied under energetically controllable conditions. Otherwise the electrochemical double layer offers exceptional conditions to investigate the Stark effect on vibrational transitions by setting tunable electric fields of the order of 10 V cm at the interface. This phenomenon will be discussed in Sec. 10. [Pg.145]
