Molecular systems and devices whose properties can be modulated using light as an
external stimulus are the subject of numerous research studies in the fields of materials and …

The properties of photokinetics under monochromatic light have not yet been fully described
in the literature. In addition, for the last 120 years or so, explicit, handy model equations that …

Nonlinear optical (NLO) switches, especially multi-state NLO switches, have attracted much
attention because of their applications in optical memory with multiple storage and …

Azobenzene derivatives have long been studied for their photochromic behaviour. One of
the greatest challenges in this field is the quantitative (E) to (Z) photoconversion triggered by …

Triarylamines (TAA) have low ionization potentials and are commonly used as donor units in
optoelectronic materials. On the other hand, photochromic dimethyldihydropyrene (DHP) …

The complex photoisomerization mechanism of the dihydropyrene (DHP) photochromic
system is revisited using spin-flip time-dependent density functional theory (SF-TD-DFT) …

A detailed insight behind the structure of absorption bands of the photochromic couple
dimethyldihydropyrene (DHP)/metacyclophanediene (CPD) is studied employing vibronic …

The dependence of photochemistry on excitation wavelength is not a recently observed
phenomenon; nonetheless, it has, surprisingly enough, been largely ignored in the field. The …

The activation of anticancer molecules with visible light constitutes an elegant strategy to
target tumors and to improve the selectivity of treatments. In this context, we report here a …

Lipid membranes are responsible for the regulation of many key cellular processes. Some of
these processes, such as signalling events, are thought to be induced by the presence of …
