MRS Online Proceedings Library Aims and scope

Abstract

The sensitivity of second harmonic generation at interfaces has been utilized to probe the spatial and frequency dependence of the local field generated near the surface of a nearly free electron metal by an externally imposed electromagnetic field. The longitudinal screening field was found to oscillate with a wavelength on the order of 10A and to propagate into the bulk several layers deep.
