Kanoun O. Lecture Notes on Impedance Spectroscopy: Measurement, Modeling and Applications. Volume 1

London, UK: Taylor & Francis Group, CRC Press, 2011. — 98 p. — (Lecture Notes on Impedance Spectroscopy 01). – ISBN: 978-0-415-68405-7.Impedance Spectroscopy is a powerful measurement method used in many application fields such as electrochemistry, material science, biology and medicine, semiconductor industry and sensors. Using the complex impedance at various frequencies increases the informational basis that can be gained during a measurement. It helps to separate different effects that contribute to a measurement and, together with advanced mathematical methods, non-accessible quantities can be calculated.
Dealing with Impedance Spectroscopy in general requires competences in several fields of research, such as measurement technology, electrochemistry, modeling, mathematical and physical methods and nonlinear optimization. Depending on the specific challenges of the considered application there are generally more efforts to be done in one or two specific fields. The scientific dialogue between specialists of Impedance Spectroscopy, working with different applications, is therefore particularly profitable and inspiring.
The International Workshop on Impedance Spectroscopy has been launched already in June 2008 with the aim to serve as a platform for specialists and users to share experiences with each other. Since 2009 it became an international workshop addressing more fundamentals and application fields of impedance spectroscopy. The workshop is gaining increasingly more acceptance in the scientific and industrial fields.
