1 General Introduction
The synthesis and design of smart materials has become a central point of research in
recent years. Especially responsive systems have been investigated, as they can be
applied, e.g., as sensor materials and memory devices or when implemented in
medical applications. In general, responsive materials react in different ways upon
an external stimulus: they can change their magnetic properties and their electrical
conductivity, or, most importantly, they can change their absorption properties.
Considering the latter, light is one of the most attractive stimuli, as it is a cheap
and constantly available stimulus, which is desirable for possible applications. When
