Here we show that, upon irradiation, azobenzene SAMs incorporated in a junction between a Au(111) surface and a mercury (Hg) drop are able to (i) lift the “heavy” Hg drop, and (ii) reversibly photoswitch the current flowing through the junction.

Abstract
Here we show that, upon irradiation, azobenzene SAMs incorporated in a junction between a Au(111) surface and a mercury (Hg) drop are able to (i) lift the “heavy” Hg drop, and (ii) reversibly photoswitch the current flowing through the junction.File in questo prodotto:
