Molecular Structure and Interaction at Model Atmospheric, Geological and Environmental Surfaces and Interfaces
EMSL Project ID
48478
Abstract
We propose to use SFG-VS to study the vibrational spectroscopy at aqueous and non-aqueous solution surfaces, aqueous solution/oxides surfaces and interfaces of model molecular systems that is related to atmospheric, geological and environmental surfaces and interfaces chemical interactions and processes. The EMSL surface spectroscopy and dynamics capability is to provide the platform for studying the specific scientific problems in this project, especially the newly developed sub-wavenumber high-resolution broadband sum-frequency generation vibrational spectrometer (HR-BB-SFG-VS). The uniqueness of this platform results from fully utilizing the recent instrumentation and methodology developments in surface nonlinear spectroscopy. Specific tools and experimental setups to study aqueous and non-aqueous solution surfaces, aqueous solution/oxide surfaces and heterogeneous catalytic solid surfaces are to be developed.
