Adsorption of anions on single crystal and polycrystalline silver surfaces has been monitored with optical second harmonic generation. Potentials investigated were restricted to the range between solvent reduction and the onset of metal osidation. Excess charge density on the metal surface is conclu

โฆ Synopsis
Surface second harmonic generalion (SHG) has been developed as a surface specific type or electronic spectroscopy. The surke second-order susceptibility x(" is enhanced by the adsorption 01 molecules. and an elsctronic spcc~rum an be gcncnred by scanning thz dye laser through Ihe wo-photon resonances 01 the adsorbale The speara or p-crcsol ionicnlly and covalently bound to SiOl and or carbazols covalemly bound LO SiO, have been obmincd. Weakly bound molecules such as hydrogen-bonded cresol. phenol and aniline ns well as pyridine nrr rapidly desorbed by the comperilive process ol Iwo-pholon absorption.

Optical second-harmonic generation has been used to follow in situ the growth of thin Ag รlms deposited on Si(111) under various substrate conditions and temperatures. This method is particularly sensitive to the microscopic structure of the deposited Ag รlms. Thus, island formation is found to enha
