Probing molecular-scale adsorption and dissolution-growth processes using nonlinear optical and scanning probe methods suitable for hydrothermal applications
Experimental hydrothermal geochemistry has made great strides on the basis of stoichiometric equilibrium studies, measured kinetic rates, and bulk-sensitive spectroscopic data, but there are current problems in hydrothermal geochemistry ranging from deep aquifer chemistry to nuclear waste tank chemistry that can benefit from new techniques able to provide direct spectroscopic and microscopic in...
متن کاملElectrostatic surface charge at aqueous/alpha-Al2O3 single-crystal interfaces as probed by optical second-harmonic generation.
Second harmonic generation (SHG) spectroscopy was used to characterize the pH-dependent electrostatic charging behavior of (0001) and (102) crystallographic surfaces of corundum (alpha-Al2O3) single-crystal substrates. The pH value of the point of zero charge (pH(pzc)) for each surface was determined by monitoring the SH response during three consecutive pH titrations conducted with 1, 10, and ...
متن کاملOptimized Surfaces for Second Harmonic Generation from Surface-Plasmon Polaritons: Theory and Experiment
In connection with recent theoretical predictions, enhancement of optical second harmonic generation (SHG) by diffractive coupling to the silver surface-plasmon polariton (SPP) mode is shown experimentally to be maximized on a biperiodic corrugated surface. Optimized first-order diffractive coupling of incident radiation to the SPP maximizes resonance enhancement of the surface-localized electr...
متن کاملStudy of the Transition to Instability in Second-Harmonic Generation with Scale Index Method
The emergence of second-harmonic generation (SHG) is a pivotal issue to the development of nano-optical devices and interfaces. Here, we perform a classical analysis of the SHG dynamics with the aim of determining critical values of the electric field. The signals of the SHG process are nonlinear, so it seems reasonable that chaos theory can be a suitable tool to analyze their dynamics. For thi...
متن کاملInvestigation of Structural, Morphological and Optical Properties of Chromium Oxide Thin Films Prepared at Different Annealing Times
Chromium oxide (α-Cr2O3) thin films were prepared using thermal annealing of chromium (Cr)films deposited on quartz substrates by direct current (DC) magnetron sputtering. The annealingprocess of the films was performed for different times of 60, 120,180 and 240 min. The influenceof annealing time on structural, morphological and optical properties of the prepared films wasinvestigated by diffe...
