Second harmonic generation at a silver electrode in the presence of phthalazine

Abstract: Second harmonic generation (SHG) and surface-enhanced Kaman scattering (SERS) are used to examine the phthalazinesilver electrode interface over a wide potential range. The SHG signal is found to exhibit hysteresis negative of the potential of zero charge, in contrast to SERS, which shows the expected irreversible degradation of signal. Hysteresis in the second harmonic signal is likely the result of anion-mediated reorientation of phthalazine.

“…In this paper, we examine the utility of second harmonic generation (SHG) for such a task. SHG is a nonlinear optical technique that has interfacial specificity, and has been utilized in studies of liquid/solid interfaces. We investigate the sequential adsorption of anionic and cationic polyelectrolytes on a charged silica surface by monitoring the time dependence of the SHG signal.…”

“…Surface second harmonic generation has been employed in studies of monolayer photopolymerisation , the formation and reorganisation of monlayer films (Rasing et al, 1988(Rasing et al, , 1985, surface acid and base equilibria (Bhattacharyya et al, 1987, adsorbate orientation (Heinz et al, 1983(Heinz et al, ,1982 Petersen and Hams, 1989; Goh er af., 1988), surface symmetry (Heinz et al, 1985), and electrode processes (Voss et al, 1986). Following the original experiment of Shank and co-workers (1983), the ultrafast response time of the SSHG signal has been used as a probe of surface reaction dynamics on a picosecond timescale Eisenthal, 1988, 1989; Yoshihara, 1989,1990).…”
