Optical quantification of interfacial charge states
Abstract
An apparatus for probing an interface via second harmonic generation (SHG) spectroscopy is provided. The apparatus comprises a sample cell comprising a noncentrosymmetric material having a selected orientation angle with respect to a reference axis; optics configured to illuminate an interface formed between the noncentrosymmetric material and a different material, or formed between two different materials and disposed over the noncentrosymmetric material, with light having a frequency ω under conditions to generate a second harmonic generation (SHG) signal having frequency 2ω; a detector configured to detect the SHG signal, the SHG signal comprising a bulk second harmonic signal from the noncentrosymmetric material and an interfacial second harmonic signal from the interface; and a device comprising a processor and a computer-readable medium operably coupled to the processor, the computer-readable medium having computer-readable instructions stored thereon that, when executed by the processor, cause the apparatus to: illuminate the interface to generate the SHG signal and detect the SHG signal.
