Abstract
Azobenzene-containing compounds were covalently attached onto Si(111) surfaces via Si-O linkages using a two-step procedure. The modified Si(111) surfaces were characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy measurements. The monolayer surface showed preferably chemical stability. Switchable photoisomerizability of azobenzéne molecules on these modified surfaces was observed in response to alternating UV and visible light exposure. The measured conductivity showed distinct difference with trans and cis forms of azobenzene compounds on as-modified Si(111) surfaces.
