Product Description

This volume is meant as an introductory resource aimed at practitioners of electrochemistry research, technology and development mainly at the atomic, molecular or macromolecular levels. Thus emphasize would be placed at length scales in the 1-100 nm range. The volume is to help provide understanding of electrochemical phenomena and materials at the nanoscale through modeling and numeric simulations. It is also to serve as means to create and use structures, electrochemically based devices and systems that possess novel properties and functions because of their small or intermediate sizes.

Product Description
`Silicon and the technology based upon it have affectedour way of life more dramatically than any other substance. One mayclaim we are living in the 'silicon age'. The chemical andelectrochemical properties of silicon, especially the growth andstability of its oxide, are critical to its use. This book,Electrochemistry of Silicon and its Oxide, is anexcellent, comprehensive summary of the electrochemical properties ofsilicon. It contains the fundamentals of semiconductorelectrochemistry followed by an extensive presentation of siliconelectrochemistry and reactions. Much has been learned about the rateand mechanism of silicon reactions from electrochemical studies,especially the growth and dissolution of silicon dioxide. The bookalso presents the photoelectrochemistry of silicon, and the formationand properties of porous silicon, one of the most intensely studiedmaterials of our time. This book is a great resource and essentialreading for scientists and engineers investigating electrochemical orsurface reactions of silicon, or the formation and dissolution ofsilicon oxide.'

Product Description
Bringing together electrochemistry, condensed matter physics and quantum chemistry, this book stresses basic theoretical ideas rather than experimental methods, and modern developments rather than traditional macroscopic concepts. Its unifying approach integrates the underlying conceptual framework of statistical mechanics, quantum theory of metals, kinetics, etc with the facts of electrochemistry. This approach reveals the true nature of the subject, which touches on so many fields. Topics covered include electrochemistry, thermodynamics and electrostatics, statistical mechanics, structure of surfaces, interfaces, theories of the hydrated electron, diffusion and more. ...
