title: Reversible photoisomerization of azobenzene molecules on a single gold nanoparticle surface.
abstract: We demonstrate reversible photoisomerizaton of azobenzene molecules on a single gold nanoparticle surface with alternating UV and visible irradiation, which is monitored by plasmon resonance Rayleigh scattering spectroscopy and stimulated by the discrete-dipole approximation method.
