TLDR
In this paper, a physical model was proposed in which the observed harmonics arise from the electric double layer at the surface of liquid-air interfaces, and the experimental results from the surfaces of various liquids and solids were discussed in the light of this model.Abstract:
Measurements of second-harmonic generation of light from liquid-air interfaces are reported. A physical model is proposed in which the observed harmonics arise from the electric double layer at the surface. The experimental results from the surfaces of various liquids and solids are discussed in the light of this model.read more

Surface properties probed by second-harmonic and sum-frequency generation
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used second-harmonic generation and the related technique of infrared-visible light sum-frequency generation to monitor surface dynamics and reactions with sub-picosecond time resolution.

Phenomenological treatment of surface second-harmonic generation
Victor Mizrahi,John E. Sipe +1 more
TL;DR: A phenomenological treatment of surface second-harmonic generation that can be applied to a host of geometries of interest is presented in this paper, where the expressions for the surface secondharmonic generated power can all be written in one compact form, from which the dependence of the signal on polarization, angle of incidence, and other experimental parameters can be extracted.

Optical Second-Harmonic Generation with Surface Plasmons in Silver Films
TL;DR: In this paper, the first experimental and theoretical investigation of the coupling of second-harmonic generation of light to surface plasmons in thin silver films was performed, and the results showed that a model based on polarization sources at the silver-air interface correctly predicts the observed harmonic enhancement of one and a half orders of magnitude because of excitation of the surface plasmon.

The free surface of water: molecular orientation, surface potential and nonlinear susceptibility
V. P. Sokhan,D. J. Tildesley +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the SPC/E model of water has been used to simulate the vapour-liquid interface along the orthobaric curve between 277 K and 548 K. The model predicts different preferential orientation of the molecular dipoles on either side of the Gibbs dividing surface.
