Abstract:
A molecular theory of time-resolved sum-frequency generation (SFG) has been developed. The theoretical framework is constructed using the coupled-oscillator model in the adiabatic approximation. This theory can treat not only the vibrational spectroscopy but also vibrational dynamics. An application of this theory is also provided for estimation of the time constants of the intermolecular vibrational energy transfer between water molecules. This approach can be used for molecular analysis of the experimental results of Shen at al. on the SFG studies of vibrational dynamics of water.
