Dependence of Photoinduced Bending Behavior of Diarylethene Crystals on Ultraviolet Irradiation Power

Dependence of Photoinduced Bending Behavior of Diarylethene Crystals on Ultraviolet Irradiation Power

The photoinduced bending behavior of diarylethene crystals upon irradiation with various UV light intensities was investigated. The initial velocity of the photoinduced bending increased in proportion to the power of the incident UV light, even when the crystal thickness was different. This result suggests that the local strain caused by photoisomerization contributes cumulatively to the bending behavior.
