Abstract
This Tutorial aims to provide a concise yet practical guideline for different scenarios that one may face in a sum frequency generation (SFG) spectroscopy laboratory, especially when it comes to sample alignment. The effort is made to reconstruct the real and often challenging sample alignment conditions for a broad range of liquid or solid samples interfacing solid, liquid, or gas phases, with a pedagogical approach. Both newcomer operators of an SFG setup without a strong experience in nonlinear spectroscopy and the more experienced SFG users can utilize the approaches that are provided in this Tutorial for an easier and more reliable sample alignment in their SFG laboratories.
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.
