Here, the well-known editor in the field of electrocrystallization and his team of excellent international authors guarantee the high quality of the contributions.
Clearly structured in two main parts, this book reviews the fundamentals and applications of electrocrystallization processes in nanotechnology. The first part, "Fundamentals" covers the basic concepts of electrocrystallization, computer simulations of low-dimensional metal phase formation, electrodeposition in templates and nanocavities, nanoscale electrocrystallization from ionic liquids, and superconformal electrodeposition of metals.
The second part, "Preparation
and properties of nanostructures," includes nanostructuring by STM tip induced localized electrocrystallization of metals, fabrication of ordered anodic nanoporous Al2O3 layers and their application, preparation of nanogaps, nanocontacts, nanowires and nanodots by selective electrochemical deposition, as well as electrodeposition of magnetic nanostructures and multilayers

This book is a hard bound edition of a special issue (vol. 48/20-22) of the journal Electrochimica Acta. It summarizes the highlights of the 53rd Annual meeting of the International Society of Electrochemistry and Annual meeting of the GDCh-Fachgruppe Angewandte Elektrochemie. The theme of the conference was Electrochemistry in Molecular and Microscopic dimensions and was based on the role of electrochemistry in the miniaturization of chemical and physical methods. Topics covered are:
- development of electrochemistry with microscopic and molecular resolution;
- initiation of advances in Electrochemical Microsystem Technologies EMT, and micro/nano-electronics;
- development of Electrochemical Materials Science for nanomaterials;
- enhancement of miniaturization and sensitivity of electroanalysis, and;
- the bridge from electrochemistry to biology and medicine of microscopic and molecular understanding.
- Summarizes the highlights of two major electrochemistry meetings.
- It includes research papers on the electrochemical processes in micro- and nanotechnology.
- Highlights developments and advances in electrochemistry.

This Proceedings contains the papers presented at the third International Symposium on ""Electrochemical Microsystem Technologies"," held in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, on 11-15 September 2000.
The papers in this Special Issue are based on the 90 presentations given. In all, 45 papers were accepted, covering many diverse topics, demonstrating the many advances throughout. Due to their emphasis on different fields, they are arranged as follows:
Introduction and Fundamentals,
Microgalvanics and Microstructuring,
Micromaterials and Surface Analysis,
Corrosion/Surface Modification,
Microanalysis and Applications in Biology,
and Nanoelectrochemistry.
