Sum frequency generation from Langmuir-Blodgett multilayer films on metal and dielectric substrates

Article Abstract:

Sum frequency generation (SFG) vibrational spectra of cadmium arachidate multilayer films adsorbed on a substrate with high nonresonant susceptibility on a low nonresonant susceptibility substrate are investigated. The films were formed by Langmuir-Blodgett deposition and their spectra recorded using SFG spectrometers employing both 532-nm nanosecond and 800-nm femtosecond lasers, with counter-propagating beam geometries respectively.

Sum frequency vibrational spectroscopy of the comb copolymer cetyl dimethicone copolyol

Article Abstract:

The sum frequency vibrational spectrum in the C-H stretching region of a comb copolymer, cetyl dimethicone copolyol (CDC), consisting of a poly(dimethylsiloxane) backbone and grafted poly(ethyleneoxide) are recorded after deposition on a gold-coated substrate. The SF resonance attributes to the methyl groups of the polymer backbone and the cetyl side chains of polymer are observed.

Interference effects in sum frequency vibrational spectra of thin polymer films: An experimental and modeling investigation

Article Abstract:

The phase behavior of the r(super -1) methyl resonance is successfully modeled by the extension of a previously developed interference theory to include multiple reflections and a resonant contribution from the polymer/gold interface.
