Light-controlled conductance switching of ordered metal-molecule-metal devices.
We demonstrate reversible, light-controlled conductance switching of molecular devices based on photochromic diarylethene molecules. These devices consist of ordered, two-dimensional lattices of gold nanoparticles, in which neighboring particles are bridged by switchable molecules. We independently confirm that reversible isomerization of the diarylethenes employed is at the heart of the room-t...
متن کاملEffects of Multi-directionality on Pedestrian Flow Characteristics
In design and analysis, standard references assume the pedestrian flow as unidirectional. In reality however, pedestrian flow is usually bi-directional. The main question pursued in this paper is that whether the main characteristics of pedestrian flow the same under uni- and bi-directional conditions. In order to achieve this goal, effect of bi-directional stream is inv...
متن کاملEffect of Humidity on the Breakdown of Air Gaps under Oscillatory Switching Impulse Voltages - Electrical Insulation, 1996., Conference Record of the 1996 IEEE International Symposium on
Experimental investigations were carried out to study the effect of humidity on the breakdown of rod-plane gaps subjected to both uni-directional and bi-directional oscillatory switching impulse voltages. The humidity ranged from 14.1 36 gm/m3 at a constant temperature of 40' C. The gap subjected to uni-directional 6.3, 10, lQ kHz and bi-directional 4.2, 10,20 kHz oscillatory switching impulse ...
متن کاملEffects of Photochromic Furan-Based Diarylethenes on Gold Nanoparticles Aggregation
The photochromic properties of furan-based diarylethenes and their interaction with citrate-capped gold nanoparticles were investigated by ultraviolet/visible absorption spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy. We identified the optimal concentration of diarylethenes in water-ethanol mixture required for stability of colloidal systems. Nanoparticles coupled with diarylethene derivativ...
متن کاملReversible light induced conductance switching of asymmetric diarylethenes on gold: surface and electronic studies.
We report on the light-induced switching of conductance of a new generation of diarylethene switches embedded in an insulating matrix of dodecanethiol on Au(111), by using scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). The diarylethene switches we synthesize and study are modified diarylethenes where the thiophene unit at one side of the molecular backbone introduces an intrinsic asymmetry into the switc...
