| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Molecular beam experiments were performed to investigate the scattering of water molecules on a solid surface, which is a dominant factor for the transport phenomena of water vapor in micro/nanoscale channels. Even within a narrow energy range corresponding to the thermal motion of gas molecules at room temperature, the scattering behavior on silicon surface varies significantly depending on the incident energy. The mechanism that causes the unusual positive correlation between the incident energy and the tangential momentum accommodation coefficient was clarified using molecular dynamics simulations.
