The first suitable book-length treatment of this topic published to date, Molecular Level Understanding of Surfaces and Buried Interfaces in Situ: Applications of Sum Frequency Generation Vibrational Spectroscopy explores a wide variety of applications in chemistry, materials science, and the life sciences. The text introduces the sum frequency generation (SFG) technique and its important applications to researchers working in both academia and industry. It also explores the detailed applications of SFG to various important research fields, including adsorption of small molecules at surfaces/interfaces, surface chemical reactions, polymer surfaces and buried interfaces, interfacial biological molecules, and molecular chirality.
