Photochromism is defined as a reversible transformation of a chemical species between two
isomers having different absorption spectra induced in one or both directions by …

Recent progress in electrical properties of photochromic molecules is reviewed. A typical
application of the properties is current switching based on the changes in ionization …

Selective metal‐vapor deposition signifies that metal‐vapor atoms are deposited on a hard
organic surface, but not on a soft (low glass transition temperature, low Tg) surface. In this …

Selective metal deposition signifies that metal vapor atoms are deposited on a hard organic
surface but not on a soft (low glass transition temperature) surface. This paper introduces the …

Selective metal deposition controlled by light irradiation was achieved for Zn, Mg, and Mn on
a photochromic diarylethene (DAE) film; metal vapor atoms were deposited only on the …

Molecules capable of reversible photoswitching between two isomers having different
absorption spectra are called photochromic molecules or molecular photoswitches. The …

Electrical carrier separation from a photoexcited photochromic molecule could be a
promising method for controlling the photosensitivity of such a molecule. We report an …

Recent advances in the photophysics of two different type of organic (conjugated and
hydrophobically modified) polymers are reviewed. Three major issues are considered in this …

We report on metal deposition selectivity on a photochromic diarylethene (DAE) surface in
intermediate vacuum. Selective deposition means that metal vapor is deposited on colored …

This chapter deals with the photochemistry of alkenes, alkynes, dienes, polyenes, and
related compounds through a choice of the literature published during the period July 2007 …
