Abstract
In this article we describe the application of second harmonic generation (SHG) to study the formation of self-assembled n-alkyl thiol films from solution with respect to their adsorption kinetics. As will be shown, the submonolayer sensitivity of SHG allows to determine quantitatively the coverage of an adsorbate in situ and in real time. That SHG is a technique which allows also to discriminate between reactions at the interface and ordering processes occurring during three-dimensional film growth will be demonstrated by experiments on the formation of vapor deposited polyamic acid films on gold and silver substrates.
