"It provides a thorough coverage of the subject including its more complex aspects..." (Aslib Book Guide, Vol. 64, No. 2, February 1999)

Das Buch beleuchtet die grundlegenden Prinzipien des Elektronentransfers und die spezifischen Auswirkungen des Ladungstransfers; daneben wird die historische Entwicklung dieses Gebietes ausführlich beschrieben. Theoretische Konzepte wie die Born-Oppenheimer-Näherung, der Tunneleffekt und die Dielektrizitätstheorie stehen im Mittelpunkt des ersten Teils; der zweite Teil illustriert die Theorie anhand zahlreicher Beispiele.
