Nonlinear Spectroscopy and Interfacial Structure and Dynamics

Guest Editors Akihiro Morita Alexander Benderskii worked in collaboration with JCP Editors Peter Hamm, Qiang Shi, Ed Castner, Patricia Thiel, and James Skinner on this Special Topic. Surfaces and interfaces play central roles in processes ranging from atmospheric/environmental chemistry, and biological function to electrochemistry, heterogeneous catalysis, and solar energy conversion. Surface-specific nonlinear optical techniques have a unique advantage of being able to probe buried interfaces between condensed phase media that are inaccessible otherwise. This special topic issue showcases recent advances in surface nonlinear spectroscopy in both experimental and theoretical aspects.
