Adding a Dimension to the Infrared Spectra of Interfaces using Heterodyne Detected 2D Sum-Frequency Generation (HD 2D SFG) Spectroscopy
In
the last ten years, two-dimensional infrared spectroscopy has become an
important technique for studying molecular structures and dynamics. We report
the implementation of heterodyne detected two-dimensional sum-frequency
generation (HD 2D SFG)
spectroscopy, which is the analog of 2D
infrared (2D IR)
spectroscopy, but is selective to noncentrosymmetric

Liquid Metal-Based Plasmonics
Objective: To develop and characterize new plasmonic metamaterials in the terahertz (THz) spectral range.
Approach: Explore unconventional materials that are typically not suitable for plasmonics applications at optical frequencies but exhibit reasonable conductivities at THz frequencies.
Results and Significance: Liquid metals and well-developed microfluidic technology can be used successfully to create useful devices in a frequency range commonly referred to as the “gap in the electromagnetic spectrum.”

FRG-2 – Using Weakly Spin-Coupled Polaron Pair States for a Calibration Free Absolute Magnetometry
Objective:
A precise absolute magnetometer based on organic spintronics that is scalable to micron dimensions, has low cost and that is not adversely affected by environmental influences (temperature, air etc.).
Approach: Integrated bipolar MEH-PPV device above magnetic field strip lines for magnetic resonant excitation. The B-field is measured through spin-dependent current changes under magnetic resonance.
Results and Significance: For the p-conjugated polymer MEH-PPV, an ABSOLUTE sensitivity of
