Device fabrication, consideration molecular electronics

These aspects are of considerable importance to the development of biosensors and molecular electronic devices and to the fabrication of ordered conductive films. 

Membrane characteristics, such as membrane potential and ion permeability, can be controlled by photoirradiation when photoisomerizable chromophores are incorporated into the membrane. The membrane can fabricate an organic-photosensor, which changes the potential in an on-off fashion when light irradiation is used as an input signal. Such an application of organic membranes is of considerable interest in connection with the development of molecular based electronic devices.
