Understanding the organization and orientation of surface-immobilized single stranded DNA (ssDNA) in aqueous environments is essential for optimizing and further developing the technology based on oligonucleotide binding. Here the authors demonstrate how sum-frequency-generation (SFG) spectroscopy c...
