Photoinduced alignment was studied onthe polymer films at room temperature with linearly polarized light of 514.5 nm, The experimental results showed that themagnetic response intensity of the TEMPO-PAZ could be easily controlled by choosing the appropriate polarized lightirradiating times, presumably due to the nitroxide radical in the TEMPO-PAZ molecular structure.
