This book is a comprehensive exploration of Molecular Switches and Devices (MOST) covering various aspects of those systems, including their performance criteria, computational discovery and evaluation, phase change behavior, catalysis, and functional applications such as energy storage devices and functional fabrics. It provides overviews of specific types of MOST systems, such as norbornadiene/quadricyclane, E/Z-azobenzene, and dihydroazulene/vinylheptafulvene and discusses their applications in devices and surface science. Additionally, it presents advanced topics like photoswitches in single-molecule electronics and molecular rotors and switches on surfaces. Overall, the book provides a thorough overview of the design, development, and applications of Molecular Switches and Devices in various fields of science and technology and is a great tool for researchers and graduates interested in this area of research.Advances in Atom and Single Molecule Machines,2193-9705Surface chemistrySurfaces (Physics)MaterialsCatalysisForce and energyRenewable energy sourcesNanoelectromechanical systemsNanochemistrySurface ChemistrySurface and Interface and Thin FilmMaterials for Energy and CatalysisRenewable EnergyNanoscale DevicesNanochemistrySurface chemistry.Surfaces (Physics)Materials.Catalysis.Force and energy.Renewable energy sources.Nanoelectromechanical systems.Nanochemistry.Surface Chemistry.Surface and Interface and Thin Film.Materials for Energy and Catalysis.Renewable Energy.Nanoscale Devices.Nanochemistry.543.33Moth-Poulsen Kasper1853139MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9911034945603321Molecular Solar Thermal Energy Storage Systems4449193UNINA
