Revealing Silica's pH-Dependent Second Harmonic Generation Response with Overcharging
Isolating the contribution of the silica in second harmonic generation (SHG) studies at the silica/water interface remains a challenge. Herein, we compare SHG intensities with previously measured zeta potentials and vibrational sum frequency generation (vSFG) intensities to deconvolute the silica contribution in the SHG measurements. Under conditions that promote overcharging, the zeta potential and the vSFG measurements follow a similar trend, however, SHG yields the opposite behaviour. The results can only be rationalized by considering a significant pH dependent increase in the silica contribution. Using a simplistic, yet physically motivated model, we demonstrate that silica can interfere either constructively or destructively with water. By computing the hyperpolarizabilities of neutral and deprotonated silica clusters with density functional theory (CAM-B3LYP/6-31+G(d,p)), we reveal that one potential source of this pH-dependent response of silica is a change in the hyperpolarizability upon the deprotonation of surface sites suggesting SHG is directly sensitive to surface charging of mineral oxides..
