Over the past two decades, the vibrational Stark effect has become an important tool to
measure and analyze the in situ electric field strength in various chemical environments with …

The nitrile vibrational modes of the 2, 3, 5, 6-tetrafluoro-7, 7, 8, 8-tetracyanoquinodimethane
(F4TCNQ) anion occur across a range of different frequencies in doped conjugated …

Conspectus The structure and reactivity of a molecule in the condensed phase are governed
by its intermolecular interactions with the surrounding environment. The multipole expansion …

Compressive sensing sum frequency generation microscopy (CS-SFGM) was applied to
study the carbon monoxide (CO) adsorption on the polycrystalline Pt electrode surface. The …

Surface chemistry is notoriously difficult to study, in part, due to the decreased number of
molecules that contribute to the properties compared to the bulk phase but often has …

In this study, the effect of a strong (≤ 4× 108 V· m–1) dc electric field on hydrogen chloride
(HCl) dimers and trimers isolated in a solid argon matrix has been investigated using the ice …

Surface science is an important discipline in physical chemistry due to the unique
environment of the surfaces compared to a bulk volume. CO-Pt electrode system is a …

In this thesis I explore the results of ultra-high vacuum laboratory experiments performed at
the Syracuse University Astrophysics and Surface Science Laboratory on structural changes …
