In recent years, there has been a boom in the publication of research results on ionic (electrolyte) systems used in the creation of electrochemical energy systems (batteries, supercapacitors, etc.). One of the alternative ways to obtain dynamic information in ionic systems is spectroscopic experiments, and the most valuable information on the behavior of condensed systems at picosecond and adjacent time intervals is provided by vibrational spectroscopy. The source of this information is the analysis of the shape and width of the lines in the vibrational spectra of ion systems. This review aims to systematize the theoretical and methodological aspects of the study of the dynamics of ion systems by vibrational spectroscopy.

The quantum-well-like two-dimensional lead-halide perovskites exhibit strongly confined excitons due to the quantum confinement and reduced dielectric screening effect, which feature intriguing excitonic effects. The ionic nature of the perovskite crystal and the "softness" of the lattice induce the complex lattice dynamics. There are still open questions about how the soft lattices decorate the nature of excitons in these hybrid materials.

The structural and chemical properties of metal nanoparticles are often dictated by their interactions with molecular ligand shells. These interactions are highly material-specific and can vary significantly even among elements within the same group or materials with similar crystal structure. In this study, we surveyed the heterogeneous interactions between an -terphenyl isocyanide ligand and Au and Ag nanoparticles (NPs) at the single-molecule limit.

Elucidation of the vibrational relaxation process of interfacial water is indispensable for understanding energy dissipation at the aqueous interface. In this study, the vibrational relaxation dynamics of the hydrogen-bonded OH (HB OH) stretch vibration was investigated at the air/isotopically diluted water (HOD-DO) interface by time-resolved heterodyne-detected vibrational sum frequency generation (TR-HD-VSFG) spectroscopy. We observed the temporal change of the excited-state band ( = 1 → 2 transition), which enables a reliable determination of the time of interfacial water.

Sum-frequency generation (SFG) enables the coherent upconversion of electromagnetic signals and plays a significant role in mid-infrared vibrational spectroscopy for molecular analysis. Recent research indicates that plasmonic nanocavities, which confine light to extremely small volumes, can facilitate the detection of vibrational SFG signals from individual molecules by leveraging surface-enhanced Raman scattering combined with mid-infrared laser excitation. In this article, we compute the degree of second order coherence ( (0)) of the upconverted mid-infrared field under realistic parameters and accounting for the anharmonic potential that characterizes vibrational modes of individual molecules.
