(Figure Presented) Surfactants such as sodium dodecylsulfate (SDS) can reduce the interfacial tension between bulk water and bulk n-hexadecane by 42 mN/m. Although reduction of interfacial tension should also take place on the interface of nanoscopic oil d ...
Many processes in chemistry and physics rely on the structure, growth or change of material buried in solids. The impenetrable surrounding medium often prohibits the study of such material in situ. Nonlinear light scattering can be used to observe the inte ...
Surfactants such as sodium dodecylsulfate (SDS) can reduce the interfacial tension between bulk water and bulk n-hexadecane by 42 mN/m. Although reduction of interfacial tension should also take place on the interface of nanoscopic oil droplets in water, v ...
We present a description of sum frequency scattering experiments to probe the interfacial vibrational spectrum of nanoscopic oil droplets dispersed in water. SF scattering measurements as a function of optical path length, infrared (IR) pulse energy and pa ...
We present a novel high power femtosecond infrared laser source, based on a three-stage chirped-pulse amplification scheme. Owing to the high power output of the Ti:sapphire amplifiers, it becomes routinely possible to produce femtosecond infrared laser pu ...
