Outline of Final Research Achievements

I constructed a measurement system for analyzing hydrated water in biopolymers using terahertz wave and measured transmittance of solid and liquid deionized water at 180-240 and 700-830 GHz. The difference in transmittance caused by the difference in status of the ionized water was obviously measured and showed possibility for measurement of intermediate water. Although I could not reach my original purpose which was to analyze hydrated water in biopolymers, I obtained important knowledge for future work. Therefore, this research was very meaningful.
