Broadband Dielectric Spectroscopy

From the reviews: from J.AM.CHEM.SOC. 2003, 125, 7748 by C.M. Roland, Naval Research Lab.: "Certainly, it is timely to have a book that offers a comprehensive introduction to the technique and also compares it to related experimental methods. This will facilitate use of dielectric spectroscopy by more chemists, physicists, and material scientists. Given the dramatic increase in the application of dielectric spectroscopy of late, a research monograph is also welcome. This ambitious text succeeds in this two-fold purpose." From "ChemPhysChem", Vol. 5, Issue 11, p. 1806-1807: "(...) Summarizing, the book edited by Kremer and Schonhals is very timely, well-written and surprisingly homogeneous in style despite the large number of authors involved. Besides a snapshot of the state-of-the-art of BDS as a modern technique, this book also put BDS in the right context and offers valuable links to related popular physical methods and research areas. The book is highly recommended to specialists in physics, electrical engineering, materials science, and (bio)chemistry, as well as to students in these disciplines. It is particularly useful for readers who are interested in dielectric techniques, but also beneficial for a readership that is generally interested in molecular dynamics and glass transition phenomena."
