| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, we could get the new knowledge from the following three themes, focusing on fluid dynamics in confined nano-spaces from a viewpoint of quantum-molecular dynamics. Firstly, some promising methods are suggested to obtain the detailed information of DNA molecules, where elongation and separation of biomacromolecules were realized by effectively applying electrokinetic phenomena in nanofluidic channels. Secondly, transport phenomena induced by ion concentration difference and electroosmotic flow in nanopore devices were successfully detected by developing electrical measurement systems, and our results could contribute to the expansion of single molecule analysis technologies. Furthermore, a fundamental platform to clarify the neural transmission mechanism in cells and organelles was established. Thirdly, we succeeded to theoretically predict reaction dynamics by quantum mechanical approaches and achieved deep understanding on nano-scaled ion transport phenomena.
