Irradiation molecular surface area

Photomechanical effects have been also observed in monolayers obtained from poly(L-glutamic acid) modified with carbocyanine1831 and spiropyran dyes.184 In the latter case, irradiation at 254 nm produced changes in the molecular conformation, which in turn caused photomodulation of the surface pressure and surface area of the films. From all these examples, it appears that photoresponsive monolayers are quite fascinating systems, which may eventually come to be regarded as a machine to transform light into mechanical energy . 81 ... 

Hydrogen adsorption on MgO can, in principle, be either molecular or dissociative. Dissociative adsorption of hydrogen on high-surface-area MgO has already been reported, and both homolytic and heterolytic pathways have been proposed 12). Homolytic splitting is supposed to operate under UV-irradiation only (117-119) and is not discussed further here. Heterolytic splitting takes place in the dark and at 300 K on coordinatively unsaturated (cus) Mg O surface pairs following the schematic mechanism illustrated in Scheme 2. 

By fluorescence analyses just upon laser ablation and of ablated surface, Molecular aspects of ablation echanisa were elucidated and a characterization of ablated Materials was perforaed. Laser fluence dependence of poly(N-vinylcarbazole) fluorescence indicates the iaportance of Mutual interactions between excited singlet states. As the fluence was increased, a plasna-like eaission was also observed, and then fluorescence due to diatonic radicals was superinposed. While the polyner fluorescence disappeared Mostly during the pulse width, the radicals attained the naxinun intensity at 100 ns after irradiation. Fluorescence spectra and their rise as well as decay curves of ablated surface and its nearby area were affected to a great extent by ablation. This phenonenon was clarified by probing fluorescence under a Microscope.
