✦ Synopsis


Second harmonic generation (SHG) was employed to monitor in situ the potential-induced reconstruction of Au( 111) and Au( 100) electrodes. Rotating the sample by 360" about the surface normal yields for the unreconstructed Au( 1 I1 )-( 1 x 1) SWface the well-known threefold symmetry pattern in the SHG intensity, while Au( lOO)-(1 X 1) shows no rotational anisotropy, as expected for C, symmetry. For the reconstructed Au( 1 I I )-( 1 X 23) surface, however, an additional onefold symmetry pattern is observed, which allows in situ monitoring of the structural transition between ( I X 1) and (1 X23). For the reconstructed Au( lOO)-( 5x20) surface, a threefold symmetry pattern was found.

The rotational anisotropy in the optical second harmonic response from flat and stepped Ag electrode surfaces biased in an electrolyte solution have been examined. Compared to the flat Ag( 111) surface, the stepped surfaces show a pronounced effect due to the lowering of the surface symmetry. The re

## Abstract In this paper we report a spectroelectrochemical investigation—relevant to the elucidation of rebar corrosion processes—based on in situ optical second‐harmonic generation spectroscopy. We studied the corrosion behaviour of a carbon steel electrode in contact with an alkaline aqueous so
