我做报告的那个session叫做Confined and Biological Water。我的报告题目和摘要如下：

Vibrational Spectroscopy and Unique Structures of Water Molecules Confined in Molecular Films and Membrane

Development of nonlinear spectroscopy, such as Sum Frequency Generation Vibrational Spectroscopy (SFG-VS), enables in-situ measurement of structural details of molecular films and membrane. Vibrational spectral signatures of various water species have thus been observed and identified. These observations and knowledge have provided detail pictures of the water mediated specific structural changes in molecular films and membrane. Here the study on the accommodation and penetration of water molecules into molecular monolayer films is to be presented. These results not only demonstrate that surface nonlinear spectroscopic methods are effective tools for interrogating spectroscopy of confined and biological water, they also provide unique model molecular systems in understanding and predicting their behaviors.
