Reversible cis-trans Isomerization of a Single Azobenzene Molecule

Single working molecule: The controlled cis–trans isomerization (see picture; left cis, right trans isomer) of a single molecule of the azobenzene derivative Disperse Orange 3 on a Au(111) metal surface is acccomplished by injection of tunneling electrons at a certain position (cross in left picture...

Description
Summary:Single working molecule: The controlled cis–trans isomerization (see picture; left cis, right trans isomer) of a single molecule of the azobenzene derivative Disperse Orange 3 on a Au(111) metal surface is acccomplished by injection of tunneling electrons at a certain position (cross in left picture) into the molecule.
