Abstract

The nonlinear optical technique of second harmonic generation has been used as an in situ probe of surface structure and symmetry at the electrode-electrolyte interface. Rotational anisotropy in the second harmonic (SH) signalprovides valuable information on the degree of structural order at the metal surface. For Ag(111), the observed patterns in the p-and s-polarized SH output agree with current theories and demonstrate that an ordered surface is present. These patterns change as the electrode is electrochemically roughened.
