Abstract:
Vibrational spectroscopies are suitable techniques to get
structural and dynamical insights from a wide range of systems at the molecular
scale. The combination of spontaneous hyper-Raman scattering (HRS), which is a
nonlinear vibrational technique, to other conventional vibrational techniques
as infrared (IR) and Raman scattering (RS) has enriched this field.
Harmonic light scattering (HLS), also called hyper-Rayleigh scattering,
provides unique additional information about the nature and structure/symmetry
of the scatterers.
Biography:
Prof. Vincent Rodriguez obtained his PhD in Physical
Chemistry in 1989 at the University of Bordeaux (France). After a postdoc at
the University of Geneva (Switzerland) and at the “Institut Laue-Langevin”
(European Neutron Research Facilities) in Grenoble (France), he returned in
1993 to the University of Bordeaux as assistant professor. He obtained the
“Habilitation à diriger les recherches” (HDR) at the University of Bordeaux in
2003. Since 2007 he is a full professor of Physical Chemistry at the University
of Bordeaux. Over the years, he has contributed in the field of vibrational
spectroscopies as well as nonlinear optics techniques like second Harmonic
Generation, hyper-Raleigh Scattering, hyper-Raman Scattering. His recent areas
of interest concern novel photonic materials for nonlinear optics applications
and imaging, molecular switches and molecular and supramolecular chirality. He
has co-authored more than 140 peer-reviewed papers including review papers, one
book and three book chapters, covering the fields of material chemistry and
nonlinear optics.
