Abstract
|
Azobenzene-containing side chain polymers [1,2] and molecular glasses based on propeller-like C3-symmetric azobenzene mesogenes [3] are investigated in classical molecular dynamics simulations. Two length scales are considered: (i) the molecular level with atomistic resolution, where reversible conformational changes of azobenzene chromophores upon light illumination lead to contractions/extensions of low amplitudes due to a limited size of mesogene groups, and (ii) the mesoscopic level, where light-induced molecular movements are observed over larger distances, comparable with the gyration radius of polymer chains. The influence of isomerization and orientation mechanisms on molecular structure and light-induced deformation is elucidated. [1] J. Ilnytskyi et al., J. Chem. Phys. 135, 044901 (2011).
