Stepping Out of Equilibrium: The Quest for Understanding the Role of Non-Equilibrium (Thermo-)Dynamics in Electronic and Electrochemical Processes

Entropy (Basel). 2020 Sep 10;22(9):1013. doi: 10.3390/e22091013.

Abstract

This editorial aims to interest researchers and inspire novel research on the topic of non-equilibrium Thermodynamics and Monte Carlo for Electronic and Electrochemical Processes. We present a brief outline on recent progress and challenges in the study of non-equilibrium dynamics and thermodynamics using numerical Monte Carlo simulations. The aim of this special issue is to collect recent advances and novel techniques of Monte Carlo methods to study non-equilibrium electronic and electrochemical processes at the nanoscale.

Keywords: Kinetic Monte Carlo; electrochemistry; molecular electronics; non-equilibrium dynamics; non-equilibrium thermodynamics.
