Azobenzene molecular switches: Testing the charge transport in a self-assembled monolayer under light stimulus — •Vladyslav Savchenko and Olga Guskova — Leibniz Institute of Polymer Research Dresden (IPF Dresden), Hohe Str. 6, Dresden

The azobenzene-based molecules organized in chemisorbed self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) on the surfaces of electrodes work as photoswitches of the conductance, the electrode work function, and the magnetization/magnetic transitions. The aim of this computational study is to predict how the configurational rearrangements of the building blocks in a molecular switch consisting of azobenzene moiety and bithiophene spacer linked to a short alkanethiol affect the structural, electronic, and transport properties in SAMs.

The financial support of the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft, project GU1510 5-1 "Optically reconfigurable nanoscale junctions for organic electronics" is highly appreciated.
