Optically Induced Ferroelectric Polarization Switching in a Molecular Ferroelectric with Reversible Photoisomerization

open access: yesAdvanced Science, 2021
Ferroelectrics usually exhibit temperature‐triggered structural changes, which play crucial roles in controlling their physical properties. However, although light is very striking as a non‐contact, non‐destructive, and remotely controlled external ...

Fundamental limitations on photoisomerization from thermodynamic resource theories [PDF]

open access: yesPhysical Review A, 2020
Small, out-of-equilibrium, and quantum systems defy simple thermodynamic expressions. Such systems are exemplified by molecular switches, which exchange heat with a bath.

Unveiling the role of dark states in dynamic control of azopyrrole photoisomerization by light-matter interaction [PDF]

open access: yesCommunications Chemistry
Strong light-matter interactions demonstrated considerable potential to control photochemical reactions. Here, we coupled a single cavity mode to the electronic S0-S1 transition of azopyrrole E and Z-isomers.

Photoisomerization Efficiency of a Solar Thermal Fuel in the Strong Coupling Regime

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, 2021
Strong exciton‐photon coupling is achieved when the interaction between molecules and an electromagnetic field is increased to a level where they cannot be treated as separate systems.

Dramatic morphological changes in liposomes induced by peptide nanofibers reversibly polymerized and depolymerized by the photoisomerization of spiropyran

open access: yesFrontiers in Molecular Biosciences, 2023
Cytoskeletons such as microtubules and actin filaments are natural protein assemblies, which dynamically control cellular morphology by reversible polymerization/depolymerization.

Photoisomerization-coupled electron transfer [PDF]

open access: yesThe Journal of Chemical Physics, 2020
Photochromic molecular structures constitute a unique platform for constructing molecular switches, sensors, and memory devices. One of their most promising applications is as light-switchable electron acceptor or donor units. Here, we investigate a previously unexplored process that we postulate may occur in such systems: an ultrafast electron ...

Coenzyme Q10 in the eye isomerizes by sunlight irradiation

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2022
Photoisomerization of lipids has been well studied. As for the eyes, photoisomerization from 11-cis isomer to all-trans-retinal is well-known as the first step of the visual transduction in the photoreceptors.

Noninvasive monitoring of bilirubin photoisomer excretion during phototherapy

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2022
Lumirubin is the most prevalently excreted hydrophilic bilirubin photoisomer in phototherapy for neonatal jaundice caused by excess hydrophobic unconjugated bilirubin (ZZ-bilirubin).

Electrostatic control of photoisomerization pathways in proteins

open access: yesScience, 2020
Electrostatics guide chromophore twist Photoisomerization—the twisting of bonds in a molecule in response to absorption of light—is exploited in biology to sense light and can influence the photophysical properties of fluorescent proteins used in imaging
