Sh. Kim et al., Surface plasmon resonance spectroscopy as a probe of photo-induced switching in self-assembled spiroxazine monolayer, DYE PIGMENT, 50(2), 2001, pp. 109-115
Evidence is presented of photo-induced reversible changes in the a spiroxaz
ine dye in the surface plasmon resonance angle of a self-assembled monolaye
r (SAM) on gold. The resonance angle shift of the SAM of spiroxazine dye in
creased with increasing refractive index of the solvent. Also reported is e
vidence of photoisomerization-induced structural change in cast films of sp
iroxazine dye. (C) 2001 Published by Elsevier Science Ltd.
