Claim Text:
1. A nanocomposite structure, comprising: a support; and a film of nanocomposite material disposed on the support and formed from a dried aqueous suspension including: first nanoparticles formed from first material(s) having modifiable optical properties using exposure of the nanocomposite structure to optical irradiation at pre-determined wavelengths or to pre-determined electromagnetic fields; second nanoparticles formed from second material(s) capable of affecting the modifiable optical properties of the first nanoparticles; and third particles formed from third material(s) which modify their spatial configuration via cis-trans isomerization or electrochromic transition, and are directly connected to the first nanoparticles and second nanoparticles, thereby forming a three-dimensional cluster structure; wherein the first material(s) are colloidal particles of cadmium selenide (CdSe); and wherein the third material(s) (i) have molecules with double carbon-carbon bonds, carbon nitrogen or nitrogen-nitrogen bonds, or (ii) include thio groups having azo dye molecules.
