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 design of artificial molecular machines,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, often takes inspiration from
macroscopic machines,,,,,,. However, the parallels between the two systems are often only …

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 …

We investigate transport through mechanically triggered single-molecule switches that are
based on the coordination sphere-dependent spin state of FeII-species. In these molecules …

An active environment is any atomic or molecular system changing a chromophore's
nonadiabatic dynamics compared to the isolated molecule. The action of the environment on …

Using scanning tunneling spectroscopy, we study the transport of electrons through C 60
molecules on different metal surfaces. When electrons tunnel through a molecule, they may …

Although noise is observed in many experiments, it is rarely used as a source of information.
However, valuable information can be extracted from noisy signals. The motion of particles …

Molecular switches represent a fascinating class of functional molecules, whose properties
can be reversibly changed between different molecular states by excitation with light or other …

Molecular switches occur throughout nature. In one prominent example, light induces the
isomerization of retinal from the compact 11-cis form to the elongated all-trans form, a …
