Summary
Summary
A skillful balance of theoretical considerations and practicalknow-how
Backed by a team of expert contributors, the Second Edition of thishighly acclaimed publication brings a solid understanding ofimpedance spectroscopy to students, researchers, and engineers inphysical chemistry, electrochemistry, and physics. Starting withgeneral principles, the book moves on to explain in detailpractical applications for the characterization of materials inelectrochemistry, semiconductors, solid electrolytes, corrosion,solid-state devices, and electrochemical power sources. The bookcovers all of the topics needed to help readers identify whetherimpedance spectroscopy may be an appropriate method for theirparticular research problem.
The book helps readers quickly grasp how to apply their newknowledge of impedance spectroscopy methods to their own researchproblems through the use of unique features such as:
* Step-by-step instructions for setting up experiments and thenanalyzing the results
* Theoretical considerations for dealing with modeling, equivalentcircuits, and equations in the complex domain
* Best measurement methods for particular systems and alerts topotential sources of errors
* Equations for the most widely used impedance models
* Figures depicting impedance spectra of typical materials anddevices
* Extensive references to the scientific literature for moreinformation on particular topics and current research
This Second Edition incorporates the results of the last twodecades of research on the theories and applications of impedancespectroscopy. Most notably, it includes new chapters on batteries,supercapacitors, fuel cells, and photochromic materials. A newchapter on commercially available measurement systems reflects theemergence of impedance spectroscopy as a mainstream researchtool.
With its balanced focus on both theory and practical problemsolving, Impedance Spectroscopy: Theory, Experiment, andApplications, Second Edition serves as an excellent graduate-leveltextbook as well as a hands-on guide and reference for researchersand engineers.

Choice Review
This book is the newest edition of the classic work Impedance Spectroscopy: Emphasizing Solid Materials and Systems, ed. by Macdonald (1987). The ten contributors to this new edition provide informative discussion of impedance spectroscopy in a cohesive and unified manner. Fully developed equations and illustrations support the understanding of the topics. This emerging field of research has become a valuable tool for those in the field of fundamental and applied electrochemistry, solid-state physics, and materials science. The book presents an excellent introduction to the theory of impedance spectroscopy, followed by detailed applications of the technique as well as experimental methods. The work is not for the undergraduate-level library collection, but is a resource for graduate students and established researchers in electrochemistry, solid-state physics, or materials science. ^BSumming Up: Recommended.
