Abstract

In this chapter, the concept of the photoinduced solid–liquid phase transition and its wide area of possible application are introduced. Also, two macroscopic motions induced by the synergetic action of isomerization of azobenzene molecules are described: firstly, the crawling motion of crystals of azobenzene derivatives on a glass surface by light irradiation with two or one light sources. The motion of the crystals is continuous, and it can be generated by simple experimental setups. Secondly, the reversible bending motion of liquid crystalline polymer network consisting azobenzene monomer as a crosslinker. This polymer also changes its glass transition temperature reversibly upon light irradiations.
