A methodology based on time-resolved, phase-sensitive second harmonic generation (SHG) for probing the excited state dynamics of species at interfaces is presented. It is based on an interference measurement between the SHG from the sample and a loca... Read More about Time-resolved phase-sensitive second harmonic generation spectroscopy.

Total internal reflection (TIR) Raman spectroscopy has been used to study the kinetics of adsorption, desorption, and displacement of mixed surfactant systems at the silica–water interface. The limited penetration depth of the evanescent wave provide... Read More about Surfactant Adsorption Kinetics by Total Internal Reflection Raman Spectroscopy. 2.

Nanofluidic networks have been fabricated in an oil-in-water emulsion. Micron-sized oil drops with ultralow interfacial tensions are connected by stable oil threads a few nm across. Lasers are used both to construct the nanofluidic network and to tra... Read More about Nanofluidic networks created and controlled by light.
