Stochastic Energetics by now commonly designates the emerging field
that bridges the gap between stochastic dynamical processes and
thermodynamics. Triggered by the vast improvements in
spatio-temporal resolution in nanotechnology, stochastic energetics
develops a framework for quantifying individual realizations of a
stochastic process on the mesoscopic scale of thermal fluctuations.
This is needed to answer such novel questions as: Can one cool a
drop of water by agitating an immersed nano-particle? How does heat
flow if a Brownian particle pulls a polymer chain? Can one measure
the free-energy of a system through a single realization of the
associated stochastic process? This book will take the reader
gradually from the basics to the applications: Part I provides the
necessary background from stochastic dynamics (Langevin, master
equation), Part II introduces how stochastic energetics describes
such basic notions as heat and work on the mesoscopic scale, Part
III details several applications, such as control and detection
processes, as well as free-energy transducers. It aims in
particular at researchers and graduate students working in the
fields of nanoscience and technology.
