title: Reversible on/off conductance switching of single diarylethene immobilized on a silicon surface.
abstract: The chemical functionalization of hydrogen-terminated silicon(111) surfaces with photochromic diarylethene using an ethylene anchoring group was achieved. Conductive atomic force microscopy measurements showed the current changes on modified silicon electrodes caused by light-induced isomerization of the diarylethene between an open form and a closed form.
