Abstract
Grazing-angle irradiation of azobenzene-based molecular glass microspheres with an s-polarized laser beam induced drastic shape changes to form peculiar shapes with curved horns. In contrast, grazing-angle irradiation with a p-polarized laser beam induced transport of the microspheres away from the light source. Observation of the behaviors from the side indicated that microspheres exhibited rolling motion to locomote on the substrate. Locomotion speeds were suggested to depend on the size of the microspheres and Tg of the material.
