Optical and electrically driven Raman switch based on molecular junction.

Caption

The schematic configuration of optical and electrically driven single-molecular switch. It shows conformational switching in a tip−molecule−substrate junction with Raman readout via optical coupling of the optical angular momentum to the molecule. Laser illuminations from the top (channel 1) or the side (channel 2) are shown accordingly.
