| Research Abstract |
We investigated photo-induced electrochemical reactions in a liquid crystal cell with thin silver-sulfide layer. As a result, two kinds of needle-like crystal formation were observed. One was formed by a carbon compound only. Another was formed by the carbon compound with a silver core. It is expected that the silver core was formed by reduced silver ions generated by photo irradiation, and then the core was surrounded by the carbon compounds, subsequently. We also investigated metal-coated films with fine structure, which is formed by small particles, to observe the electrochemical reaction on the metal surface. It is expected that the metal surface or interface modulation based on the electrochemical reaction is observed in the spectral changes and these will be applied for sensing devices in the future.
