Opis

This book applies the method of thermodynamic Green functions to the problems of electrochemistry. Although the method of Green functions has become very popular in solid state physics, there are almost no applications of this technique to electrochemistry. The present volume aims to fill this gap in the literature. A new description of electrochemical and bioelectrochemical phenomena is given in the context of the many electrochemical aspects of the double layer theory and the interface electrode-electrolyte solution. Audience: This volume is intended for researchers in electrochemistry, solid state physics and surface sciences, and is recommended as a handbook for postgraduate students in these fields.
