posted on 2008-01-09, 16:41 authored by Stephen FletcherThe Electrochemical Dictionary is intended to provide authoritative
definitions of terms used in electrochemistry and related fields. The Dictionary also
contains biographies of people who have made significant contributions to
electrochemistry. This document contains biographies of people who have made significant
contributions to electrochemistry, including Boltzmann (Ludwig Eduard), Born
(Max), Clark (Leland Charles), Coulomb (Charles Augustin de), Gauss (Carl
Friedrich), Gray (Stephen), Gurney (Ronald Wilfrid), Henry (Joseph), Kelvin
(William Thomson, Baron Kelvin of Largs), Mott, (Nevill Francis), Randles (John
Edward Brough), Siemens (Ernst Werner von), Tesla (Nikola), Whewell, (William),
Wilhelmy (Ludwig Ferdinand), and Wollaston (William Hyde). The document also
contains definitions of some diverse terms used in electrochemistry and related fields,
including Accumulation region, Adiabatic process, Band bending, Boltzmann
constant, Boltzmann distribution, Capacitive deionization, Clausius-Mossotti
equation, Contact angle, Coulomb force, Depletion region, Diffuse layer capacitance,
DLVO theory, Electricity, Electroconvection, Electrocrystallization, Electrolysis Cell,
Electron, Electron Transfer, Electron work function, Electroporation, Galvanic,
Galvanoglyphy, Galvanize, Hydrated electron, Non-adiabatic (diabatic) process
(quantum mechanics), Nucleation, Nucleation and growth, Nucleation overpotential,
Open circuit potential, Permittivity (relative), Phase transition, Phospholipids,
Polarizability (of a molecule), Polarization (of an electrode), Polarization density (of a
dielectric medium), Pole, The Randles semicircle, Randles-Ershler impedance,
Template synthesis, Thermodynamic temperature, Vesicles, Work (electrical).
