Springer Modeling and Numerical Simulations I: 43 (Modern Aspects of Electrochemistry, 43)

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. Emphasis is placed at length scales in the 1-100 nm range. The aim of the volume is to help provide understanding of electrochemical phenomena and materials at the nanoscale through modeling and numeric simulations. It is also designed to serve as a means to create and use structures. Review From the reviews:“The present book is devoted to numerical simulation and modeling within the large field of electrochemistry. It is divided in eight chapters. … In conclusion it can be stated that the present book is surely worth of being incorporated in the library of scientists and engineers, working in the field of modeling electrochemical processes and systems.” (T. Eichler, Materials and Corrosion, Vol. 62 (3), 2011) From the Back Cover MODERN ASPECTS OF ELECTROCHEMISTRY No. 43 Edited by Mordechay Schlesinger University of Windsor, Ontario, Canada This volume contains eight chapters dealing with modeling and numeric simulations.
