Abstract
The rotational anisotropy in the optical second harmonic response from flat and stepped Ag electrode surfaces biased in an electrolyte solut ion have been examined. Compared to the flat Ag(111) surface, the step ped surfaces show a pronounced effect due to the lowering of the surfa ce symmetry. The results are interpreted in terms of a pseudo mirror p lane at these steps.
