Direct monitoring of opto-mechanical switching of self-assembled monolayer films containing the azobenzene group

Direct monitoring of opto-mechanical switching of self-assembled monolayer films containing the azobenzene group

The potential for manipulation and control inherent in molecule-based motors holds great scientific and technological promise. Molecules containing the azobenzene group have been heavily studied in this context. While the effects of the cis–trans isomerization of the azo group in such molecules have...
