Single Molecule Mechanics on a Surface

Gears, Motors and Nanocars

Herausgegeben: Moresco, Francesca; Joachim, Christian

Beschreibung

Written by the leading experts of this field, this book results from the International Symposium on "Single Molecule Machines on a Surface: Gears, Train of Gears, Motors, and Cars" which took place in Toulouse, France on November 24th - 25th, 2021. The different chapters focus on describing the use of single molecule mechanics on a surface and analyze the different steps leading to the design of a single molecule nanocar. The authors present how a single molecule is rotating, how a single molecule gear can participate to a train of molecule gears to propagate motion and how this knowledge is used for the design of nanocars. The way energy is provided to a single molecule and how this energy drives it onto the surface is also analyzed. A large portion of this volume is written by the eight teams selected to participate in the Nanocar Race II event. This book is of great use to graduate students, post-doctoral fellows and researchers who are interested in single molecule mechanics andwho want to know more about the fundamentals and applications of this new research field.

Autor

Dr. Fräncesca Moresco from the Center for Advancing Electronics Dresden, TU Dresden, 01062 Dresden, Germany, leads since 2017 the CFAED research group single molecule machines. She joined TU Dresden in 2009. Using scanning tunneling microscopy, she investigates the electronic and mechanical properties of a single molecule on a surface.Current fields of research include molecular electronics, organic electronics and molecule machines. She was Principal Investigator in several European projects and  Coordinator of the EU FET Open Project "Mechanics with Molecules" (MEMO). She is presently Coordinator of the EU H2020 project  "Energy Storage in Molecule(s)" (ESiM). She is Author of 90 publications including nine book chapters. She has an h-index of 33 (WOS) and more than 4600 citations (Google Scholar).  Dr. C. Joachim is Director of Research 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. He coordinated the European projects "Bottom-up Nanomachines," "Pico-Inside" and "AtMol" whose objective was to prepare the construction of the first ever molecular chip. 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).
