Photochemistry and Photophysics of Liquid Interfaces by 2nd-Harmonic Spectroscopy
The study of photochemical and photophysical processes at various liquid interfaces using second harmonic generation methods is described. Among the topics discussed are the dynamics of photoinduced structure changes, the transport of charge across an interface, the rotational motions of interfacial molecules, intermolecular energy transfer within the interface, interfacial photopolymerization, and photoprocesses at a semiconductor/liquid interface.
