Chemistry Electricity for chemists

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the search for textbooks that effectively explain electricity within a chemical context, particularly for applications like cyclic voltammetry and the physics of electricity in solutions. Participants highlight the need for resources that bridge chemistry and electronics, suitable for someone with a background in chemistry and some knowledge of electronics. Recommendations include specific titles such as "Electrochemistry for Chemists" by Donald T. Sawyer and a highly regarded comprehensive text referred to as "The Bible" in the field. The focus is on finding materials that cater to beginning graduate students, emphasizing the importance of understanding electrochemistry and electrophysiology.

Are there good textbooks which explain electricity in a chemical context better. i.e. for use in measurements (cyclic voltammetry and others), the physics (suitable for a chemist) of electricity in solutions and how solutions can be modelled in circuit diagrams.

I have some knowledge of electronics and I have 4 going on 5 years of chemistry education, as well as some background in chemical quantum mechanics, although I'd need to brush up on that for a quantitative understanding.

FWIW, I would also be interested in a recommendation, specifically regarding electrochemistry/electrophysiology at a level suitable for a beginning graduate student.

Thread 'Ashcroft and Mermin: revised edition'

Hi, I have notice that Ashcroft, Mermin and Wei worked at a revised edition of the original solid state physics book (here). The book, however, seems to be never available. I have also read that the reason is related to some disputes related to copyright. Do you have any further information about it? Did you have the opportunity to get your hands on this revised edition? I am really curious about it, also considering that I am planning to buy the book in the near future... Thanks!

Thread 'How is Jackson’s Electrodynamics taught during undergraduate?'

I’ve heard that in some countries (for example, Argentina), the curriculum is structured differently from the typical American program. In the U.S., students usually take a general physics course first, then move on to a textbook like Griffiths, and only encounter Jackson at the graduate level. In contrast, in those countries students go through a general physics course (such as Resnick-Halliday) and then proceed directly to Jackson. If the slower, more gradual approach is considered...
