some organic molecules can be isomerized upon photoirradiation and when accompanied by a change in the visible absorption spectrum, it is called photochromism. azobenzenes are important part of molecular machines and nanotechnology, which are this phenomenon is called photoisomerization azobenzene (azo) chromophores , and have been incorporated into a wide variety of materials and molecular arc...

High-temperature annealing coupled with above bandgap UV illumination is an emerging approach to manipulate defect chemistries and resultant properties of electroceramics. To explore defect-processing-property relationships in these materials, advanced multiphysics multiscale model has been developed, which involves (a) high-fidelity first principles simulations energies, (b) grand canonical th...
