Synchrotron Techniques in Interfacial Electrochemistry / Edition 1

by C.A. Melendres, A. Tadjeddine

Overview

Synchrotron Techniques in Interfacial Chemistry covers the structure of the electrode—solution interface and surface films, theory of X-ray scattering at surfaces and interfaces, synchrotron radiation instrumentation, surface X-ray diffraction, X-ray reflectivity, X-ray absorption spectroscopy (EXAFS and XANES), standing wave techniques, and IR spectroscopy. The use of each technique in the study of electrochemical problems is illustrated.
