Surfaces, Particles, and Structured Liquids - Ultrafast Nonlinear Experiments
Abstract
The objective of this work is to study the vibrational dynamics of molecules in complex molecular environments and investigate the relationships between dynamics and structure over a wide range of time and distance scales. A combination of ultrafast nonlinear optical experiments will be performed to observe real-time molecular motions of molecules adsorbed to complex materials and correlate those fast dynamical motions with the physical and chemical properties of the materials. A new approach permits long range interactions to be separated from short range interactions in the role they play in structural dynamics. This project will, focusing on molecular monolayers at solid interfaces, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), and room temperature ionic liquids.
