General considerations on optical second-harmonic generation from surfaces and interfaces
Abstract
Second-harmonic generation from an interface, in relation to the second-order nonlinearities of the interface layer and the adjacent bulk, is considered. It is shown that both structural asymmetry and field discontinuity contribute to the interface nonlinearity, which, as far as second-harmonic generation is concerned, can be characterized by a local surface nonlinear susceptibility tensor. The bulk nonlinearity may also contribute to the second-harmonic signal, but is an order of magnitude weaker than the surface nonlinearity in centrosymmetric media with a large optical dielectric constant. The possibility of detecting submonolayers of adsorbates on various substrates is discussed qualitatively.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
