Ultrafast dynamics of water at the water-air interface studied by femtosecond surface vibrational spectroscopy

We study the dynamics of water molecules at the water-air interface, using surfacespecific two-dimensional infrared sum-frequency generation (2D-SFG) spectroscopy. The data reveal the occurrence of surprisingly fast energy transfer and reorientational dynamics at aqueous interfaces.
