Broadband Dielectric Spectroscopy: Fundamentals and Applications

Broadband Dielectric Spectroscopy: Fundamentals and Applications explores the current landscape of BDS in detail, with a focus on techniques, analytical tools, materials, and devices.It covers both the theory and fundamentals, as well as the most recent advances, with a specific focus on novel applications within advanced materials. Section I provides a strong theoretical background and foundational overview, while explaining how experimental tests can be conducted, discussing the methods of analyzing data via various formalisms.Detailed methods are provided together with example case studies.The book explores the ways in which BDS intersects with and can be used in conjunction with other analytical and spectroscopic techniques.Section II shows how BDS can be used in cutting-edge ways on some of the most important materials used in chemical and material science research, such as solution materials, polymers, hybrid polymers and nanocomposites, ionic liquids, and active dielectrics.Fina
