The excitation wavelength dependence of laser ablation dynamics of an azobenzene-containing urethane-urea copolymer film was investigated by measuring the laser fluence dependence of etch depth, transient absorbance change at each excitation wavelength, and transient absorption spectra. Moreover expansion/contraction dynamics was studied by applying nanosecond time-resolved interferometry. The threshold was determined at several excitation wavelengths from etch depth measurement, while time-integrated absorbance was obtained under excitation conditions. The photon energy required to remove the topmost of surface layer of the film did not .depend on excitation wavelength, and the penetration depth of excitation pulse dominated the etch depth. When the excitation wavelength was longer than 500 nm, permanent swelling was clearly observed but not for shorter wavelength excitation. In the latter case, photoisomerization occurred during excitation and the following photoreduction may play an important role. On the basis of the observations made in this study, a photochemical and photothermal mechanisms can explain mostly the short and long wavelength excitation results, respectively.

We carried out this subject to observe electrochemical properties of 1,2-dioleoyl-sn- glycero-3-phosphocholine(DOPC) mixed with fatty acid containing azobenzene group by using cyclic voltammetry with a three-electrode system, An Ag/AgCl reference electrode, a platinum wire counter electrode and LB film-coated ITO working electrode in $NaClO_4$ solution. We investigated the photoisomerization and electrochemical property of the organic ultra thin film of fatty acid containing azobenzene was prepared on the hydrophilic ITO(idium tin oxide) glass plate by LB method. As a result, the absorption spectra of BASH and DOPC of mixture LB films was induced to photoisomerization by alternating irradiation of ultraviolet and visible light. A measuring range was reduced from initial potential to -1350mV, continuously oxidized to 1650 mV and measured to the initial point. The scan rate were 50, 100, 150 and 200 mV/s. As a results, LB films of BASH-DMPC appeared reversible process caused by the reduction-oxidation current from the cyclic voltammogram.

Three-armed, star-shaped molecules containing 4-(N,N-diphenyl)amino-4'-nitroazobenzene chromophores were synthesized to study the diffraction behavior after inscribing surface relief gratings. The two molecules differed in terms of their mode of chromophore attachment to the core. In compound 5, they were bound to the core laterally through alkylene spacers, whereas the chromophores were tethered perpendicularly to the core in compound 4. Although 60 wt% of the polar azobenzene chromophores was comprised of large molecules, no aggregation behavior was observed in the absorption spectra of the thin films. The surface relief gratings were elaborated on the surface of the molecular films by the two-beam interference method. The dynamics of grating formation were studied in terms of the diffraction efficiency using two different film samples made up of two star-shaped molecules. The maximum diffraction efficiency of D-$(ENAZ)_3$, compound 4, was measured to be about 30%, which was significantly high. The mode of chromophore attachment affected the dynamic properties of the diffraction gratings.

Dendrimers represent a new class of synthetic macromoleculcs characterized by a regularly branched treelike structure. Multiple branching yields a large number of chain ends that distinguish dendrimers from conventional star-like polymers and microgels. The azobenzene dendrimer is one of the dendrimeric macromolecules that include the azo-group exhibiting a photochromic character. Due to the presence of the charge transfer element of the azo-group and its rod-shaped structure, these compounds are expected to have potential interest in electronics and photoelectronics, especially in nonlinear optics. In the present paper, we give pressure stimulation to organic thin films and detect the induced displacement current. Functional photoisometrization organic molecular the photo-stimulus to organic monomolecular L films and LB films of dendrimer and 8A5H were performed. The 8A5H organic monolayer in case of pressure stimulus occurred that positive course but in case of the photo-stimulus compared positive and negative. It is assumed that generation forms of displacement current were measured when photo-stimulus for impression.

The second-order nonlinear optical effect, especially the second harmonic generation, in Langmuir-Blodgett(LB) films have get much attention over the past few years. For second harmonic generation(SHG) of the ultrathin organic films, the multilayer structure of the film should have the noncentrosymmetric arrangements of molecules. The Langmuir-Blodgett technique can result in the production of thin films of precisely controlled dimensions and structure. In this paper, n-octadecyl 4-(4'-nitrophenylazo)-1-naphthyl ether, ONNE(azohenzene derivative), was synthesized and the optical properties of ONNE was studied. Nonccntrosymmctric Z-type LB films of ONNE were prepared and SHG intensity of the film were measured. The structural characteristics of floating monolayer(L film) and LB film of ONNE were discussed with $\pi$-A isotherm. UV-visible absorption spectroscopy and spectroscopic ellipsometry. The polarized UV-visible absorption spectroscopy and SHO intensity suggest the molecular orientation in LB film.

Reversible trans-cis isomerization of meta-bipyridylazobenzene coordinated to cobalt was achieved by a combination of photoirradiation with a single UV light source and a Co(II)/Co(III) redox reaction. The trans/cis conversion performance was significantly improved in the meta-form compared with the meta-form ligated to cobalt.

Molecular switching in azobenzene mixed monolayers on a water surface was investigated by means of Maxwell displacement current(MDC) measurement. It was found that the change in the vertical component of the dipolemoment of the mixed monolayer during visible light irradiation was almost the same as that flowing during UV light irradiation. Also MDC was generated but it depended on the molar ratio. As a result. It's phtoisomerization progressed by 8A5H in mixed films.

Several kinds of photo-chromic polymers containing push-pull structure were synthesized and investigated on optical patterning by photo-induced surface relief gratings (SRG) technique. The azobenzene segment was introduced as a functional group for a photo-triggered tran-cis isomerization. Consequently, we have fabricated micro-size regular pattern by one-step process without photo-mask.

The oxidation of hydrazobenzene by oxygen in methanol solution is catalysed by Co(3MeOsalen) which is a synthetic oxygen carrier. The products are trans-azobenzene and water. The rate of the reaction has been studied spectrophotometrically and the rate law established. A mechanism involving a ternary complex of catalyst, hydrazobenzene and oxygen has been proposed.
