ABSTRACT
The electrical properties of a single-molecule junction of spiropyran are investigated through the break junction (BJ) method, and the current-voltage (I-V) characteristics are switched from rectified to symmetric through mechanical stimulus. This phenomenon indicates isomerization from spiropyran to merocyanine. In addition, an increase in the conductance associated with isomerization is observed.
