Second harmonic generation (SHG) was used to carry out an in situ study of the potential-induced reconstruction of an Au(110) single crystal electrode in an aqueous solution of 0.01 M HClO4. In this study, we found that the symmetries of the surface susceptibility of the reconstructed and the unreconstructed Au(110) surfaces have a large component of threefold symmetry. A detailed analysis shows that both surfaces have an overall Cs symmetry giving one-, two-, and threefold symmetries for the surface susceptibility. However, another, different, source of threefold symmetry, perpendicular to the first, is needed to fit the data. We suggest that this extra source of threefold symmetry is due to the (111) microfacets that are present on the open (110) surface. Keywords: electrochemistry, single crystal, reconstruction, second harmonic generation spectroscopy.

ABSTRACTThe experiments described in this paper clearly show that Second Harmonic Generation (SHG) may be used as a sensitive tool for detecting oxide impurities at interfaces not accessible for usual surface characterization methods. As a striking feature, one peak in the temperature dependent SH intensity is observed for liquid potassium and five peaks for liquid cesium. The occurrence of these peaks cannot be understood in terms of the nonlinear optical properties of the pure metal. By varying the oxygen content present in the melt it can be shown that these peaks must be attributed to the presence of oxide impurities segregating at the interface. In addition it is shown that the presence of oxides at the interface inert sapphire - molten alkali metal significantly alters the structure of the sapphire surface finally leading to corrosion visible even by the eye.

NIR-PDT strategy was introduced by employing a nonlinear optical conveyor bearing strong second-harmonic generation (SHG) property. A biocompatible micellic system co-delivered the conveyor and photosensitizer for in situ NIR-PDT.
