Abstract
In this Tutorial series, we aim to provide an accessible introduction to vibrational sum frequency generation (VSFG) spectroscopy, targeted toward people entering the VSFG world without a rigorous formal background in optical physics or nonlinear spectroscopy. In this article, we discuss in detail the processes of collecting and processing VSFG data, and user-friendly processing software (sfgtools) is provided for use by people new to the field. Some discussion of analyzing VSFG spectra is also given, specifically with a discussion of fitting homodyne VSFG spectra, and a discussion of what can be learned (both qualitatively and quantitatively) from VSFG spectra.
期刊介绍:
Biointerphases emphasizes quantitative characterization of biomaterials and biological interfaces. As an interdisciplinary journal, a strong foundation of chemistry, physics, biology, engineering, theory, and/or modelling is incorporated into originated articles, reviews, and opinionated essays. In addition to regular submissions, the journal regularly features In Focus sections, targeted on specific topics and edited by experts in the field. Biointerphases is an international journal with excellence in scientific peer-review. Biointerphases is indexed in PubMed and the Science Citation Index (Clarivate Analytics). Accepted papers appear online immediately after proof processing and are uploaded to key citation sources daily. The journal is based on a mixed subscription and open-access model: Typically, authors can publish without any page charges but if the authors wish to publish open access, they can do so for a modest fee.
Topics include:
bio-surface modification
nano-bio interface
protein-surface interactions
cell-surface interactions
in vivo and in vitro systems
biofilms / biofouling
biosensors / biodiagnostics
bio on a chip
coatings
interface spectroscopy
biotribology / biorheology
molecular recognition
ambient diagnostic methods
interface modelling
adhesion phenomena.
