Overview
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.

Booknews
Nothing here about environmentalism. Extends the method of thermodynamic Green Functions to problems of electrochemistry. The functions were introduced into statistical physics to describe the response of a considered system with respect to an external perturbation, and have become very popular in solid state physics but little applied elsewhere. The Polish physicists develop a new description of electrochemical and bioelectrochemical phenomena and, within that discuss many electrochemical aspects of the double layer theory. They illustrate applications in graphs and tables that compare theoretical and experimental results. They also consider possibilities for applying such promising techniques as different modifications of low-energy electron diffraction to electrochemical systems. The basic theorems and their derivation are provided, but knowledge of the principles of quantum mechanics and statistical physics at the graduate level is required to understand them.
