Orientation of motion of a flat folding nano-swimmer in soft matter.

It is well established that anisotropic molecules do have a preferential direction of motion at short time scales that is washed out at larger times by Brownian noise. Anisotropic molecular motors are able to move at lower temperatures when Brownian noise is smaller suggesting the possibility of oriented motion for larger time scales. We use molecular dynamics simulations to investigate that possibility, calculating the displacements of a simple flat folding molecular nano-swimmer embedded in soft matter. We find actually that the motor displacement is oriented in the direction of its length. We note that the observed orientation of the displacement explains the experimental polarization effect in surface relief gratings formation in agreement with the caterpillar model for azobenzene SRG formation mechanism. That result also suggests a simple route for the creation of molecular motors with oriented displacements.
