Brownian ratchets : from statistical physics to bio and nano-motors / David Cubero, Ferruccio Renzoni.
Cubero, David, 1973-| Call Number | 621.381 |
| Author | Cubero, David, 1973- author. |
| Title | Brownian ratchets : from statistical physics to bio and nano-motors / David Cubero, Ferruccio Renzoni. |
| Physical Description | 1 online resource (xii, 186 pages) : digital, PDF file(s). |
| Notes | Title from publisher's bibliographic system (viewed on 07 Jan 2016). |
| Contents | Limitations imposed by the second law of thermodynamics -- Fundamental models of ratchet devices -- General relevance of the concept of ratchets -- Classical ratchets -- Quantum ratchets -- Energetics and characterization -- Ratchets for colloidal particles -- Cold atom ratchets -- Solid state ratchets -- Bio-inspired molecular motors. |
| Summary | Illustrating the development of Brownian ratchets, from their foundations, to their role in the description of life at the molecular scale and in the design of artificial nano-machinery, this text will appeal to both advanced graduates and researchers entering the field. Providing a self-contained introduction to Brownian ratchets, devices which rectify microscopic fluctuations, Part I avoids technicalities and sets out the broad range of physical systems where the concept of ratchets is relevant. Part II supplies a single source for a complete and modern theoretical analysis of ratchets in regimes such as classical vs quantum and stochastic vs deterministic, and in Part III readers are guided through experimental developments in different physical systems, each highlighting a specific unique feature of ratchets. The thorough and systematic approach to the topic ensures that this book provides a complete guide to Brownian ratchets for newcomers and established researchers in physics, biology and biochemistry. |
