SNOM Visualisation of Light-Triggered Switching in Photochromic Materials

Optical properties of hybrid nanostructured systems "metal nanoparticle-photochromic molecule" were studied using scanning near-field optical microscopy (SNOM). The reversibility of photochromic reactions was demonstrated. From the result obtained it may be inferred that SNOM is a useful t...

Summary:Optical properties of hybrid nanostructured systems "metal nanoparticle-photochromic molecule" were studied using scanning near-field optical microscopy (SNOM). The reversibility of photochromic reactions was demonstrated. From the result obtained it may be inferred that SNOM is a useful tool in studying the local switching of photochromic molecules, and it has much potential for nanomachining of nanoscale structures and optical elements.
