Transforming Business Models for a Better Future: Investigating Effects of Sustainable Business Model Archetypes on Consumer Adoption Behavior

Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Global challenges such as climate change, resource scarcity and ecological degradation demand that companies rethink how they create, deliver and capture value. Sustainable business model innovations (SBMIs) offer a promising pathway, yet empirical insights into how different SBMI archetypes affect consumer adoption behavior are scarce.

All Shook Up: Fluctuations, Maxwell’s Demon and the Thermodynamics of Computation

Entropy, 2013
The most successful exorcism of Maxwell’s demon is Smoluchowski’s 1912 observation that thermal fluctuations would likely disrupt the operation of any molecular-scale demonic machine.

Self‐Discontinuity as a Barrier to Identity and Behaviour Change: Evidence From Smoking Cessation

European Journal of Social Psychology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Extensive research has shown that resistance to behaviour change is often driven by the management of self‐related threats, traditionally conceptualized as threats to self‐esteem. The present research offers a novel perspective by examining behaviour change as a threat to self‐continuity (i.e., the perceived stability of one's self‐image over ...

Thermodynamics as Control Theory

Entropy, 2014
I explore the reduction of thermodynamics to statistical mechanics by treating the former as a control theory: A theory of which transitions between states can be induced on a system (assumed to obey some known underlying dynamics) by means of operations

Strong interfacial charge transfer from CrSBr induces extreme hole doping and quantum‐Hall states in graphene heterostructures

InfoScience, EarlyView.
Magnetic van der Waals semiconductors offer unique opportunities to integrate spin and charge degrees of freedom in atomically thin devices. We fabricate dual‐gated heterostructures consisting of exfoliated CrSBr and monolayer graphene with Hall measurement revealing robust heavy p‐doping of graphene and signals of h‐BN/graphene moiré superlattices ...

Full statistics of erasure processes: Isothermal adiabatic theory and a statistical Landauer principle

, 2016
We study driven finite quantum systems in contact with a thermal reservoir in the regime in which the system changes slowly in comparison to the equilibration time.

Spin‐sensitive multifunctional devices based on lateral graphene/MoS2 heterostructures

InfoMat, EarlyView.
This study highlights the multifunctional capabilities of devices based on lateral graphene/MoS2 heterostructures and provides theoretical guidance for the design and fabrication of high‐performance rectifiers, spin filters, and optoelectronic devices based on various 2D lateral heterostructures. Abstract Using first‐principles calculations and quantum

Erasure of a nonequilibrium memory beyond Landauer's bound using levitated optomechanics with spatio-temporal optical control

Physical Review Research
Landauer’s principle provides a deep connection between information processing and thermodynamics by setting a lower limit on the energy consumption and heat production of logically irreversible transformations.

Approximation of Dirac operators with δ‐shell potentials in the norm resolvent sense, II: Quantitative results

Mathematische Nachrichten, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper is devoted to the approximation of two‐ and three‐dimensional Dirac operators HV∼δΣ$H_{\widetilde{V} \delta _\Sigma }$ with combinations of electrostatic and Lorentz scalar δ$\delta$‐shell interactions in the norm resolvent sense. Relying on results from Behrndt, Holzmann, and Stelzer‐Landauer [Math. Nachr.
