Infrared Spectroscopy of Thin Organic Films Adsorbed at a Gold Electrode Surface
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This lecture will review our research involving IR spectroscopy at the solid –liquid interface. After a brief review of basic principles of IR spectroscopy and the laws of reflection of light at interfaces, three methods of Infrared Reflection Absorption Spectroscopy (IRRAS) will be described. The first is subtractively normalized interfacial Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (SNIFTIRS) or in short potential difference IR spectroscopy. This technique finds application to study reversible adsorption of soluble molecules at electrode surfaces. The methods of optimisation of the SNIFTIRS experiment will be discussed. Its application will be illustrated by the case of adsorption of a soluble surfactant such as sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS) at a gold electrode surface. 1 The second technique to measure IR spectra at interfaces is the photon polarization modulation infrared reflection absorption spectroscopy (PM IRRAS). This technique is used to study films of insoluble molecules a various interfaces. I will discuss application of this technique to study model biological membranes supported at a gold electrode surface. 2 The third technique is the surface enhanced infrared reflection absorption spectroscopy (SEIRAS). It is performed using attenuated total internal reflection (ATR) element covered by nanoparticles of gold. The intensity of the IR signal is then enhanced by a factor of 100. In addition, since the film of metal nanoparticles is conductive it is used to study phenomena at electrified interfaces. I will describe application of this technique to study structure of water in model biological membrane supported at a gold electrode surface. 3 I will emphasize complementarity of SEIRAS and PMIRRAS in application to bio-electrochemical research.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
