A photo-assisted atomic switch, which has a photoconductive molecular layer in a gap of about 20 nm between an Ag2S electrode and a Pt electrode, is set to a conventional gap-type atomic switch operation mode by light irradiation with the application of a small bias that precipitates Ag atoms from an Ag2S electrode. After this initialization, the switch operates only with application of a bias....

The behavior of a pyridinium-substituted dimethyldihydropyrene photo-switch under aerobic conditions was investigated. During irradiation with red light (λ ≥ 630 nm), this compound plays the role of oxygen sensitizer and is quantitatively converted into an endoperoxide derivative. The photo-produced endoperoxide then thermally releases singlet oxygen to regenerate the starting compound.

A novel photo-responsive nano-container was successfully constructed based on well-defined vesicles formed by an amphiphilic overcrowded alkene switch. The nano-container could adjust its inner volume in reversible photo/heat controlled mode, which could show potential in remote drug delivery systems.

The blue-light photo-reduction (conversion of oxidized flavin quinone via flavin semiquinone to fully reduced flavin hydroquinone) and dark re-oxidation of the flavins riboflavin and lumiflavin in starch (α-amylose) films was studied by absorption and luminescence spectroscopy. Blue-light photo-excitation caused an absorption, fluorescence, and phosphorescence decrease which recovered in the da...

Ultrawide bandgap semiconductor technologies offer potentially revolutionary advances in the rapidly developing areas of quantum communication, short wavelength optics, smart energy conversion, and biomedical interfaces. These strongly demanding can be partly constructed using conventional devices but new hybrid architectures are needed to overpass current performances add functionalities. Here...
