Abstract

The grating method of surface light scattering spectroscopy provides a reference beam for homodyne detection of scattered light that can be used to measure accurately the response function of a free liquid interface. This enables the determination of interfacial tension and other parameters that include volume phase viscosity or visco-elastic parameters of monomolecular films spread at the interface or produced by reactions. The focus of this essay is on the measurement science required to construct a compact, robust instrument for the determination of the spectrum of surface fluctuations accurately. In addition various applications are mentioned that include the classical monolayer work and the extension to properties of high temperature melts.
