The origin of this book lies in a time before one of the authors
(J. O'M. B.) left the University of Pennsylvania bound for the
Flinders University. His collaboration with Dennis Matthews at the
University of Pennsylvania had contributed a singular experimental
datum to the quantum theory of elec trode processes: the variation
of the separation factor with potential, which could only be
interpreted in terms of a quantum theory of electrode kinetics. The
authors came together as a result of grad~ate work of one of them
(S. U. M. K.) on the quantum mechanics and photo aspects of elec
trode processes, and this book was written during a postdoctoral
fellowship held by him at the Flinders University. Having stated
the book's origin, it is worthwhile stating the rational izations
the authors had for writing it. Historically, quantization in elec
trochemistry began very early (1931) in the applications of the
quantum theory to chemistry. (See the historical table on pages
xviii-xix.) There was thereafter a cessation of work on the quantum
theory in electrochemistry until a continuum dielectric viewpoint,
based on Born's equation for solvation energy, began to be
developed in the 1950s and snowballed during the 1960s.
