Outline of Final Research Achievements

In numerical simulations, we confirmed that when we put a micro-sized object near a substrate with different temperature from above, upward or downward Knundsen force is exerted on the object. Then, we investigated the mechanism of this force. In experiments, we successfully measured the effect of the force exerted on the object. By putting the experimental system into a vacuum desiccator, we investigated the effect of pressure and successfully understood its tendency in detail.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

物体の周りで、気体の平均自由行程程度の長さ(60ナノメートル)程度で温度変化がある場合、物体に働く力がアンバランスになり、物体に力を働かせることが出来る。このことを数値シミュレーションおよび実験により確かめ、その力のメカニズムを調査した。このことの理解が進めば、複雑な機構なしに、温度場を作るだけでマイクロ・ナノサイズの物体を輸送することが出来るようになる。マイクロ・ナノスケールでは複雑な加工が難しいため、シンプルであることが重要なポイントなのである。
