高分子薄膜あるいは有機単分子層の分子構造を表面敏感な振動分光法である和周波発生分光法を用いて検討した。具体的には高分子薄膜表面の側鎖基、あるいは単分子膜の末端官能基の配向および配向の環境依存性について調べた。

The molecular structure of the surfaces of polymer thin film and organic monolayer was investigated by using sum frequency generation spectroscopy. The orientation of a side chain group of the polymer surface and of a terminal group of the monolayer was estimated. The influence of the environment on the orientation will be also discussed.
