Abstract

Optical second harmonic generation is a new surface diagnostic applicable both in ultra-high vacuum and ambient environments and capable of examining gas-solid, liquid-solid and solid-solid interfaces. Studies of surface segregation of chromium and nitrogen on Fe-18Cr-3Mo(II0) single crystal surfaces in ultra-high vacuum are described. Major increases in second harmonic intensity generated by 700 nm excitation at the surface are seen upon heating to temperatures at which chromium and nitrogen cosegregate. Adsorption of oxygen has also been studied on this surface. Second harmonic generation shows promise in providing structural and electronic information for surfaces and interfaces in a wide variety of environments.
