The electric field applied between the tip of a scanning tunneling microscope and a metallic
surface is shown to induce the reversible trans− cis isomerization of single azobenzene …

Using light to control the switching of functional properties of surface-bound species is an
attractive strategy for the development of new technologies with possible applications in …

The application of external electric fields to influence chemical reactions at electrode
interfaces has attracted considerable interest in recent years. However, the design of electric …

Quantum chemical calculations of various azobenzene (AB) derivatives have been carried
out with the goal to describe the energetics and kinetics of their thermal cis→ trans …

Excitation of single molecules with electrons tunneling between a sharp metallic tip of a
scanning tunneling microscope and a metal surface is one way to study and control …

We explore the range of applicability of the nuclear ensemble method (NEM) for quantitative
simulations of absorption spectra and their temperature variations. We formulate a “good …

Here, we report the study of tautomerization within a single porphycene molecule adsorbed
on a Cu (111) surface using low-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) at 5 K …

Molecular switches are of fundamental importance in nature, and light is an important
stimulus to selectively drive the switching process. However, the local dynamics of a …

The bistability of spin states (eg, spin crossover) in bulk materials is well investigated and
understood. We recently extended spin‐state switching to isolated molecules at room …
