Abstract
A “polarization mapping” method has been applied to improve the fitting quality of sum frequency generation (SFG) vibrational spectra of complicated systems and validate the data analysis of simple SFG spectra. Using such a method, two-dimensional SFG spectra can be constructed, from which more reliable spectral information can be obtained from a surface/interface. Model calculations as well as experiments have been employed to illustrate the power of the polarization mapping method for spectral analysis of SFG spectra. By using a deuterated polystyrene surface and interfacial protein molecules as examples, we demonstrate that this method is especially important for complicated molecules, such as polymers and proteins.Keywords
