Quantum mechanical study of molecular switches : electronic structure, kinetics and dynamical aspects

Molecular photoswitches are attracting much attention lately mostly because of their possible applications in nano technology, and their role in biology. One of the widely studied representatives of photochromic molecules is azobenzene (AB). With light, by a static electric field, or with tunneling...
