Outline of Final Research Achievements

Development of materials that transport compounds on solid surface by photoirradiation The goal of this project is to create novel material systems which can transport molecules and particles on flat solid surfaces by irradiation of light. This project is based on our discovery of the phenomena of the light-induced crawling motion of crystals on solid surfaces. We combine this motion with other chemical species by chemical and physical interactions. The motion of the complex would take place by irradiation, resulting the transportation of the complex partners. We have synthesized various azobenzene derivatives, evaluated their photoresponse and ability of complex formation. Then the motion of the complex was evaluated.
