Photoresponsive Rotaxanes Switch Lipid Bilayer Neuromorphic Behavior with Light
Advanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.A rotaxane consisting of a macrocycle ring with two azobenzene units mechanically interlocked onto an amphiphilic axle was incorporated into droplet interface bilayers (DIBs). Photoswitching between the azobenzene configurations on the ring resulted in cycling between memristive and memcapacitive behaviors in lipid bilayers, enabling programmable ...

Photoswitchable NIR‐Emitting Gold Nanoparticles [PDF]
Angewandte Chemie International Edition, 2016 AbstractPhoto‐switching of the NIR emission of gold nanoparticles (GNP) upon photo‐isomerization of azobenzene ligands, bound to the surface, is demonstrated. Photophysical results confirm the occurrence of an excitation energy transfer process from the ligands to the GNP that produces sensitized NIR emission.

Sound and noisy light: Optical control of phonons in photoswitchable structures [PDF]
, 2015 We present a means of controlling phonons via optical tuning. Taking as a model an array of photoresponsive materials (photoswitches) embedded in a matrix, we numerically analyze the vibrational response of an array of bistable harmonic oscillators with ...

Photoswitchable Sexithiophene-Based Molecular Wires [PDF]
Organic Letters, 2009 Photochromic sexithiophenes were prepared by oxidative electrochemical coupling of terthiophenes. The redox properties in the open state are typical of sexithiophenes. Ring closure of both photochromic units leads to a decrease in the energy of the LUMO orbitals with little affect on the energy of the HOMO orbitals.
