Probing Liquid Surfaces

这个职业发展奖将使玛丽·舒尔茨博士 把她的研究重点从电子振动 说明对不太明确的区域的特定反应性 液体界面上的反应。该项目将开发 可检测液体光谱和分子探针 接口。离子物种将在界面上进行研究， 二次谐波产生和FTIR。结构和动态 参数将被测量和解释， 离子与液体界面相互作用。 %%% 这项建议开发了一个程序，可以提供新的 关于气体与液体相互作用的信息。工作 这一点很重要，因为许多环境问题与 这样的互动。这项工作可以使我们更好地理解 环境化学的研究， 空气污染可以最小化。

This Career Advancement Award will enable Dr. Mary Jane Shultz to shift her research empahsis from electronic-vibrational state specific reactivity to the less well defined area of reactions on liquid interfaces. The project will develop spectroscopic and molecular probes capable of examining liquid interfaces. Ionic species will be studied at the interface by second harmonic generation and by FTIR. Structural and dynamic parameters will be measured and interpreted in terms of how ions interact with liquid interfaces. %%% This proposal develops a program which can provide new information on the interactions of gases with liquids. The work is important because many environmental problems are related to such interactions. The work can lead to a better understanding of environmental chemistry and to ways that such problems as air pollution can be minimized.
