چکیده

Pseudostilbene-type single crystals exhibit ubiquitous, fast, and reversible photomechanical motion under visible-light irradiation. Push-pull substituents impart extremely rapid switching using just one wavelength of light by shortening the lifetime of the cis-form. This results in a bending motion in the microsecond regime. The influence of crystal density, thickness, and molecular orientation on optimization of the photomechanical effect is investigated.

Experimental design study of RB 255 photocatalytic degradation under visible light using synthetic Ag/TiO2 nanoparticles: Optimization of experimental conditions

In the present study, silver-doped TiO2 (Ag/TiO2) nanoparticles were prepared by various Ag doping (wt%) and a combination of sol-gel and ultrasound irradiation. Ag/TiO2 nanoparticles were characterized by energy-dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) techniques. Based on the Taguchi method, photocatalytic...

Photoinduced curling of organic molecular crystal nanowires.

Materials that transform light into mechanical motion are interesting from both fundamental and technological perspectives. Photomechanical materials usually consist of photoreactive molecules assembled in an ordered matrix, for example a liquid crystal polymer. The use of molecular crystals as photomechanical materials is challenging, since strain between reacted and unreacted crystal phases o...
