The knowledge of nonlinear optical phenomena at a surface and                   their use as probes for surface physical and chemical                           properties will have fundamental impact on surface sciences,                    materials processing, and development of optical and electronic                 devices.  The use of state-of-the-art surface preparation                       coupled with sophisticated laser instrumentation and the                        appropriate surface analysis system enhances the ability of                     investigators to obtain detailed information on the surface                     before, during, and after interaction with the laser light.                                                                                                     This award, co-supported by the Chemistry Shared                                Instrumentation Program and the Instrumentation for Materials                   Research Program, will aid in the acquisition of the major                      portion of an Ultra High Vacuum (UHV) Surface Analysis System.                  The areas that will be enhanced by the acquisition are:                                                                                                         1) The interaction of intense light with adsorbates and                            surfaces.                                                                    2) The electronic structure of nearly free electron (NFE)                          metals, particularly the charge density near surfaces.                       3) Development of fast time-resolution for the study of                            desorption dynamics, energy transfer, and reaction dynamics                     on surfaces.
