Esin-Markov effect
Esin O, Markov B. On an experimental verification of Stern’s double layer theory // Zhurnal Fizicheskoi Khimii. 1939. V. 13. P. 318-325, in Russian. Translated version: Acta Physicochimica URSS. 1939. V. 10. P. 353-364.
Oleg Alekseyevich Esin (1904-1979) graduated from Ural Polytechnical Institute (Ekaterinburg) in 1925, and spent all his life in this Institute. He was a reliable associate of Frumkin school, despite he never belonged to it directly, but developed a relative approach for the electrode kinetics of metal ions discharge. He also made a lot in the field of melt electrochemistry, which became the most known electrochemical direction at Ural later. After WWII, Esin moved to physical chemistry of metallurgical processes.
Boris Fedorovich Markov (1912-1996) was Esin’s PhD student. During WWII, he was in the army, and then moved to Kiev, where he worked in the Institute of Inorganic and General Chemistry of Ukrainian Academy of Sciences in 1946-1986. He is known for his studies of melt electrochemistry and melt equilibria, specially in respect to titanium deposition from melts. Biographic data in Ukrainian are available.
