Abstract
The presence of in-plane orientation of azobenzene molecules in single monolayers of polymer films was detected by means of Maxwell-displacement-current (MDC) measurement with linearly polarized photoirradiation. The magnitude of MDC generated by photoirradiation polarized in a direction parallel to the dipping direction of the azobenzene monolayer was greater than that generated by photoirradiation normal to the dipping direction. The in-plane orientational change in azobenzene molecules in single polymeric monolayers was produced as a result of alternating polarized photoirradiation of UV and visible light for a sufficiently long time, and it was also detected by means of MDC measurement.
