摘要
(Figure Presented) Single working molecule: The controlled cis-trans isomerization (see picture; left cis, right irons isomer) of a single molecule of the azobenzene derivative Disperse Orange 3 on a Au(111) metal surface is acccomplished by injection of tunneling electrons at a certain position (cross in left picture) into the molecule. © 2006 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
