Crossroad of Maxwell Demon
Springer International Publishing (Verlag)
978-3-031-57903-5 (ISBN)
Written by leading experts in this field, this proceedings volume originates from a workshop held in Toulouse on March 1-2, 2023, organized by the ESIM European project (Energy Storage Inside Molecule(s)). The book explores the intersection and convergence of various perspectives, disciplines, and research areas related to a modern version of the Maxwell demon at the nanoscale. It presents interdisciplinary perspectives on topics such as intramolecular thermodynamics and single molecule motive power and overviews the realm of single objects, be it atoms or molecules, while also emphasizing on theoretical and experimental approaches, with or without the presence of supporting surfaces. Notably, this comprehensive collection represents the first instance where such intertwined contributions on diverse versions of the Maxwell demon are discussed within the context of the nanoscale. It is of great use to graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and researchers who are interested in single molecule mechanics.
Dr. Xavier Bouju obtained his Ph.D. at the University of Franche-Comté (Besançon) in 1993. He devoted one year to national military obligations (1994) and then moved to the University of Namur for a postdoctoral appointment (1995). He then returned to France, where he was appointed as CNRS Research Scientist in the Molecular Physics Laboratory (Besançon) between 1996 and 2002. Then, he moved to Toulouse in the CEMES/CNRS laboratory and was promoted to Senior CNRS Research Director in 2013. His main research interests are focused on numerical simulations of adsorbed molecules in the context of self-assembly on surfaces, image calculations with local-probe-based methods (STM, AFM), and simulations of adsorbed and functionalized molecular machines.
Dr. C. Joachim is Senior CNRS Research Director at CEMES/CNRS and Adjunct Professor of Quantum Physics at ISAE Toulouse. He was A*STAR VIP Atom Tech in Singapore (2005-2014) and is Head of the WPI MANA-NIMS satellite in Toulouse since 2008. Author of more than 330 scientific publications (h-index = 62, WOS), he has given more than 400 invited talks on electron transfer and tunnel transport through a molecule, single molecule logic gates, atomic scale circuits, and single molecule machines. He has been awarded the IBM France Prize (1991), the Feynman Prize (1997), the CNRS Silver Medal in Chemistry (2001), the Feynman Prize (2005), a Guinness book entry (2011) for the smallest ever functioning nano-gear, 1.2 nm in diameter and a "Star of Europe" prize for the coordination of the AtMol project (2015).
