Studies of alkali adsorption on Rh(111) using optical second-harmonic generation
TLDR
In this article, the optical second-harmonic generation from the Rh(111) crystal surface was investigated and the surface was covered with alkali atoms, and the results established the surface specificity of secondharmonic generating to the topmost 1 or 2 atomic layers of alkali metals.About:

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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Surface-enhanced Raman scattering
TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed a surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) model of adsorbates on metal surfaces, where the long-range enhancement by resonances of the macroscopic laser and Stokes field is separated quantitatively from the metal electron-mediated resonance Raman effect.

Electronic Excitations at Metal Surfaces
TL;DR: In this article, density functional theory is applied to surface plasmons and van der Waals attraction is used for electron-hole pair creation. But it does not consider nonlinear Optics.
Journal ArticleDOI
Second harmonic generation studies of interfacial structure and dynamics
TL;DR: A review of the current state of the field of optical second harmonic generation as it pertains to the study of interfacial phenomena can be found in this paper, where the experimental and theoretical studies discussed examine fundamental issues regarding the source of the nonlinear polarizability at the interface.
Journal ArticleDOI
Surfaces probed by nonlinear optics
TL;DR: Optical second harmonic and sum-frequency generation has been proven to be a very versitile probe for surface and interface studies as mentioned in this paper, and a brief account is given on how the technique was developed and numerous applications found in our laboratory.

Theory of atomic chemisorption on simple metals
TL;DR: In this article, the atom-jellium model of chemisorption was used to study the properties of an atom bonded to the surface of a simple metal, including the electron-density distribution, the state density, the dipole moment, and the heat of adsorption.
