22. 0 in the absence of irradiation at 473 nm. As shown in Table S1 in the Supporting Information, a slight diminution of the hydrodynamic radius arising from trans-to-cis isomerization does not account for the observed increase in the diffusion coefficient under homogeneous illumination at 473 nm.
23. For the sake of clarity, the Figure and the corresponding movie present the motion of a single NPazo observed in diluted samples. As mentioned in the text, in more concentrated samples the directed accelerated motion was observed for a large number of particles. However, because of the high fluorescent background, probably resulting from some leakage of the encapsulated fluorophore, the image contrast is not good enough to present high-quality illustrative movies.
