Original Abstract

One of the most common device in electronics is a switching unit distinguishing between two states: 'on' and 'off' ('0' and '1', respectively). Although there are many posible designs to produce such unit, none of them have been used to build commercial electronic devices yet. One of the reliable ways is believed to be light driven switching of a multistable molecular system exhibiting photochromic properties based on spiropyrans. In the present paper we concentrate on optical and electrical properties of macroscopic samples build of model materials. A brief description of the switch architecture proposed by Nespurek at al. is also given.
