Second harmonic generation (SHG) was used to measure gold’s second-order nonlinear optical response as a function of temperature and as a function of ambient atmosphere composition. Using a bespoke temperature-controlled assembly, SHG signal was measured from an Au surface between 19 and 260 °C under atmospheres containing varying amounts (0–100%) of O2with a balance of N2. SHG intensity diminished with increasing temperature, a result that is interpreted in terms of increased electron–phonon scattering at higher temperatures. Surprisingly, SHG intensity also depended on ambient atmosphere, with the SHG signal measured in air (20% O2) being ∼2 times larger than that measured in N2at room temperature. This dependence of SHG intensity on atmospheric composition disappeared at high temperatures. Systematically titrating O2into an N2feed showed that the room-temperature enhancement of SHG signal from Au saturated at ∼15% O2. Despite widespread acceptance that O2does not adsorb to a bulk Au surface, we propose that these results are consistent with a weakly physisorbed surface excess of O2at the Au–gas interface. Fitting this O2enhancement of Au’s SHG response to a Langmuir isotherm implies an adsorption energy on the order of 0.1 eV, consistent with results from previously reported DFT calculations. CO affects the SHG signal from Au in a manner similar to that of O2, implying that the SHG enhancement is due to back-bonding of Au’s conduction band electrons into vacant orbitals on either the O2or CO adsorbates.
