Electrolytes at Interfaces
The aim of this book is to provide the reader with a modern presentation of ionic solutions at interfaces, for physical chemists, chemists and theoretically oriented experimentalists in this field. The discussion is mainly on the structural and thermodynamic properties, in relation to presently available statistical mechanical models. Some dynamic properties are also presented, at a more phenomenological level. The initial chapters are devoted to the presentation of some basic concepts for bulk properties: hydrodynamic interactions, electrostatics, van der Waals forces and thermodynamics of ionic solutions in the framework of a particular model: the mean spherical approximation (MSA). Specific features of interfaces are then discussed: experimental techniques such as in-situ X-ray diffraction, STM and AFM microscopy are described. Ions at liquid/air, liquid/metal and liquid/liquid interfaces are considered from the experimental and theoretical viewpoint. Lastly some dynamic (transport) properties are included, namely the self-diffusion and conductance of small colloids (polyelectrolytes and micelles) and the kinetics of solute transfer at free liquid/liquid interfaces.
A History of Econometrics in France
Fascinating and authoritative, this work, challenges the traditional view of the history of econometrics and offers a comprehensive overview of what went on to be one of the defining subsets within the economics profession.
Handbook on the Physics and Chemistry of Rare Earths
The rare earths represent a group of chemical elements, the lanthanides, together with scandium and yttrium, which exhibit similar chemical properties. They are strategically important to developed and developing nations as they have a wide variety of applications in catalysis, the defense industry, aerospace, the materials and life sciences and in sustainable energy technologies. The Handbook on the Physics and Chemistry of the Rare Earths is a continuing authoritative series that deals with the science and technology of the rare earth elements in an integrated manner. Each chapter is a comprehensive, up-to-date, critical review of a particular segment of the field. The work offers the researcher and graduate student a complete and thorough coverage of this fascinating field. - Individual chapters are comprehensive, broad, critical reviews - Contributions are written by highly experienced, invited experts - Gives an up-to-date overview of developments in the field
Molecular Thermodynamics Of Electrolyte Solutions
The introductory textbook provides an update on electrolyte thermodynamics with a molecular perspective. It is eminently suited as an introduction to the solution thermodynamics of ionic mixtures at the undergraduate and graduate level. It is also invaluable for the understanding and design in the engineering of natural gas treating and adsorption refrigeration with electrolytes.
The Physics and Chemistry of Aqueous Ionic Solutions
J.E. Enderby At the last NATO-ASI on liquids held in Corsica, (August 1977),Professor de Gennes, in his summary of that meeting, suggested that the next ASI should concentrate on some specific aspect of the subject and mentioned explicitly ionic solutions as one possibility. The challenge was taken up by Marie-Claire Bellissent-Funel and George Neilson; I am sure that all the participants would wish to congratulate our two colleagues for putting together an outstanding programme of lectures, round tables and poster session. The theory which underlies the subject was covered by four leading authorities: J.-P. Hansen (Paris) set out the general framework in terms of the statistical mechanics of bulk and surface properties; H.L. Friedman (Stony Brook) focused attention on ionic liquids at equilibrium, and J.B. Hubbard considered non-equilibrium properties such as the electrical conductivity and ionic friction coefficients. Finally, the basic theory of polyelectrolytes treated as charged linear polymers in aqueous solution was presented by J.M. Victor (Paris).
The Physical Basis of Thermodynamics
Given that thermodynamics books are not a rarity on the market, why would an additional one be useful? The answer is simple: at any level, thermodynamics is usually taught as a somewhat abstruse discipline where many students get lost in a maze of difficult concepts. However, thermodynamics is not as intricate a subject as most people feel. This book fills a niche between elementary textbooks and mathematically oriented treatises, and provides readers with a distinct approach to the subject. As indicated by the title, this book explains thermodynamic phenomena and concepts in physical terms before proceeding to focus on the requisite mathematical aspects. It focuses on the effects of pressur...
New Trends in Quantum Systems in Chemistry and Physics
These two volumes collect thirty-eight selected papers from the scientific contributions presented at the Fourth European Workshop on Quantum Systems in Chemistry and Physics (QSCP-IV), held in Marly-le-Roi (France) in April 22-27, 1999. A total of one hundred and fifteen scientists attended the workshop, 99 from Europe and 16 from the rest of the world. They discussed the state of the art, new trends, and future evolution of the methods and applications. The workshop was held in the old town of Marly-le-Roi, which lies to the West of Paris between the historic centres of Saint-Germain-en-Laye and Versailles. Participants were housed at the National Youth Institute, where over sixty lectures...
Polymer Electrolyte Fuel Cells 10
This issue of ECS Transactions reports on research, development, and engineering of polymer electrolyte fuel cells (PEFCs), as well as low-temperature direct-fuel cells using either anion or cation exchange membranes. It discusses diagnostic techniques and systems design for both acid and alkaline fuel cells, catalysts and membranes for acid fuel cells, and catalysts and membranes for alkaline fuel cells.
Theoretical Aspects of Heterogeneous Catalysis
Heterogeneous catalysis is a fascinating and complex subject of utmost importance in the present day. Its immense technological and economical importance and the inherent complexity of the catalytic phenomena have stimulated theoretical and experimental studies by a broad spectrum of scientists, including chemists, physicists, chemical engineers, and material scientists. Computational and theoretical techniques are now having a major impact in this field. This book aims to illustrate and discuss the subject of heterogeneous catalysis and to show the current capabilities of the theoretical and computational methods for studying the various steps (diffusion, adsorption, chemical reaction) of h...
