Photoresponsive Piezoelectrics [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Materials, 2021
Most piezoelectric materials are not interactive with visible light, meaning that their band gaps are beyond the photon energies of the visible part of the light spectrum.

Photoresponsive gelators [PDF]

open access: yesChemical Communications, 2016
Low molecular weight gels can be responsive to a range of external stimuli. The use of light as an external stimulus to modify gels is of particular interest for a number of reasons. Light is a non-invasive trigger.
