1 e sum = EJL R Sβ General objective: Reduce the complexity of the analysis by exploiting symmetry. Specific Objectives: 1. The molecular symmetry matrix S. How to populate it.. Relationships between the character tables for transitions of different symmetry and the molecular tensor. 3. The surface response for a uniaxial ensemble as a function of molecular symmetry. 4. Extension to other linear and nonlinear optical processes. Department of Chemistry Purdue University 1

2 Let s consider a simple example of a uniaxial surface assembly of rod-like molecules with a molecular tensor dominated by just the β zzz element. For C surface symmetry, we have 4 unique elements for vibrational SFG. R = cos θ, R = sinθcos φ; R = sinθsinφ Zz Xz Yz χ : β = N cos θ β 3 ZZZ zzz s zzz N χ : β = N cosθsin θcos φ β = cosθsin θ β Ns χxxz : βzzz = Ns cosθsin θcos φ βzzz = cosθsin θ βzzz s ZXX zzz s zzz zzz χ β θ θ φ φ β YZX : zzz = Ns cos sin sin cos zzz = 0

Quad. A x +y,z A z - B x -y B xy E (x,y) (xz,yz) Quadratic transformations (α) -For A 1 symmetry, the α matrix is unchanged by this operation. Only the diagonal elements survive both C 41 and C 43 operations with no sign change. Since the operation swaps α xx and α yy, the two must be equal. -For B 1 symmetry, swapping α xx and α yy through the C 4 operation results in a sign change, such that the two must be equal and opposite. Analogous operation of the other C rotations separate out the (xy) and (xz,yz) off-diagonal elements. 6

The nonzero tensor elements and equalities between them within the D 4 point group can be found by performing each of the individual symmetry operations and finding the set of equalities that is consistent with all. 7

9 How are these equalities between surface tensor elements generated? The Cartesian tensor in the surface frame. χ C χ C s χ s C = N R Sβ s θψφ = N R R R θψφ θψφ θψφ β ( ) ( ) ( ) = N Q R R R R R R θ ψ θ ψ θ ψ Q= Rφ Rφ Rφ Since the distribution in φ is known in advance to be uniformly distributed in a uniaxial assembly, the averages can be separately evaluated in this expanded matrix notation. Given the constraints on β, what constraints emerge on the elements of χ C? β In crystals or assemblies of other symmetry, Q will have a different form, but can nevertheless serve a similar purpose. 9

10 e sum = EJL R Sβ 1. Character tables indicate the nonzero elements in µ and α, from which the nonzero elements of β can be populated.. Additional equalities between the nonzero elements can be deduced by performing the symmetry operations of the point group on µ, α, and β. 3. From these equalities, the symmetry matrix S populates the full set of 7 tensor elements from the smaller subset of unique, nonzero values. 4. For ensembles with C symmetry, equalities between the macroscopic surface tensors are indicative of molecular symmetry. References: -Begue, N. J.; Moad, A. J.; Simpson, G. J.
