This is coherent with several otherobservations, under far-field irradiation, of matter accumulation towards the ⃗ E ⊥ fieldcomponents and away from ⃗ E ‖ . However, the interpretation of the near-field photomechanicalresponse of photochromic thin <strong>films</strong> does not take into account the possiblemechanical interaction between the tip and the surface.In this section we present photodeformation phenomena observed in hybrid metal/azopolymerlayered structures in the presence of a near-field probe. We will show thatthe photoinduced pattern is completely different from the deformation obtained on anuncoated photochromic film and that the interactions between the local probe and themetallic surface play a predominant role in the deformation process.
