Photochromic diarylethene as an information processing unit: Magnetic and electric switching
نویسنده
چکیده
Photochromic compounds reversibly change not only the absorption spectra but also their geometrical and electronic structures. This principle can be applied for the photoswitching of the physical properties of the molecular materials. In particular, photoswitching of the flow of information through the molecule is interesting because information processing using molecular devices is attracting interest in the molecular electronics field. The photoswitchings of the magnetic exchange interaction and the electrical conductance using photochromic diarylethene are described.

The process of reversible coloration changes induced at least in one-direction by photoirradiation is referred to as photochromism.1) The two isomers of photochromic compounds differ in their geometrical and electrical structures. These geometrical and electrical differences lead to changes in the physical properties of the molecules, such as their absorption and fluorescence spectra, refractiv...

The synthesis and photochemical characterization of bicomponent molecular switches based on covalently tethered dithienylethene photochromes is described. Both photochromic units undergo complete switching between the fully cyclised and fully non-cyclised states despite a significant level of electronic communication between the individual units and their proximity.

The photoswitching of the energy gap width of the isomeric forms of photoresponsive polymers with homonuclear photochromic diarylethene elementary units is investigated theoretically, taking into account the correlation correction. It is shown that a real switching of electrical conductivity (insulator , semiconductor or conductor) can not be realized with polymers with alternant homonuclear -e...
