Design of single-molecular logical devices based on multistable photochromatic spirooxazine

Abstract

The transition condition and performance of tristate photochromatic spirooxazine have been studied. The characteristics of different photochromatic spirooxazine absorption spectra have been used to construct three kinds of logic devices. These molecular logic devices not only can be controlled by photochemical bistable states but also exhibit excellent photon resistance.
