Exploring Novel Applications of Nonlinear Vibrational Spectroscopy in Characterizing Model Atmospheric, Geological, Environmental, and Biological Surfaces and Interfaces
EMSL Project ID
49142
Abstract
We propose to investigate benchmark systems in the interface sciences to find novel applications of EMSL's unique surface spectroscopy and dynamics capability and platform, especially the newly developed subwavenumber high-resolution broadband sum-frequency generation vibrational spectrometer (HR-BBSFG-VS), to study the vibrational spectroscopy, structure and interactions at aqueous and non-aqueous solution surfaces, aqueous solution/oxides surfaces and interfaces of model molecular systems related to atmospheric, geological, environmental and biological problems. The uniqueness of this platform results from fully utilizing the recent instrumentation and methodology developments in surface nonlinear spectroscopy. Specific tools and novel experimental setups to study aqueous and non-aqueous solution surfaces, aqueous solution/oxide surfaces and heterogeneous catalytic solid surfaces are to be developed.
