Summary
Scanning Electrochemical Microscopy describes the theory and operating principles of scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM), including instrumentation, tip preparation, imaging techniques and potentiometric probes. The book explores applications relevant to electron transfer reactions, reaction kinetics, chemical events at interfaces, biological systems, and fabrication. Pioneers in this field, the authors provide solutions to SECM diffusion problems, including use of the PDEase2 program package and also provide approximate equations that can be readily used for treating many SECM problems.
