- In Liquid State Electronics of Insulating Liquids, one of the world's
- leading experts in dielectric liquids discusses the theoretical basis and
- the experiments on electronic conduction in nonpolar liquids. This book
- provides a sound description of the concepts involved in electronic and
- ionic charge transport in these liquids. It also includes experimental
- techniques that graduate students, university researchers, and laboratory
- scientists will all find useful. Data tables provide first-order information
- on the magnitude of relevant quantities.
- This book is intended for those researchers, graduate students, and practicing scientists in:
- Materials science
- High-energy and radiation physics
- Electrical and electronic engineering
- Semiconductor physics
- Radiation chemistry
- Photochemistry
- Physical chemistry
- Insulation research
- High-voltage engineering
Contents
- Provides fundamental knowledge and experimental techniques
- Contains figures drawn exclusively for use in the text, thus providing the greatest amount of relevant information in each figure
- Incorporates teaching and learning techniques gathered throughout the author's 25 years of experience in teaching and research
- Includes reference sections at the end of each chapter
