Abstract: A highly localized evanescent light from a fiber probe with a 100 nm diameter aperture of a photon scanning tunneling microscope (PSTM) was used to realize localized photochemical processes in LB films of photochromic material. The localized photochemical processed region sized as small as 130 nm was obtained by using the transmission type PSTM.
