Fig. 26.6 Characteristics of the light-powered periodic flips of an azobenzene-containing coassembly. a The in situ small-angle XRD profiles of the co-assembly under dark conditions (left)
and under blue-light irradiation (right). b Time profile of the periodic motion of the co-assembly
under irradiation with various intensities of steady 435-nm light (left). Light power dependencies of
duration time (τ 1 , and τ 3 ) and frequency (right) are shown. c Time profiles of the periodic motion of
the co-assembly under irradiation with 470-nm light (left) versus 435-nm light (right). d Behavior
of the co-assembly after removing the light source. When the co-assembly was in its bent-shape
phase and the light source was removed, thermal relaxation via a phase transition was observed.
All figures were produced from the original data [53]
