Abstract

A spectroscopic study of photochromic systems containing two-dimensional CdSe nanoparticles (colloidal quantum wells) and photochromic compounds of the thermally relaxing chromene and thermally irreversible diarylethene classes in solutions was carried out. First, the systems were found to exhibit modulation of emission of two-dimensional nanoparticles in accordance with the photochromic transformations of compounds due to Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) from the two-dimensional nanoparticles to photoinduced photochromic isomers.
