Outline of Final Research Achievements

The Brownian motion of spherical particles with ~1 micron diameter suspended in a water-ethanol mix solutions shows strange behavior such that cannot be explained by viscosity of bulk liquid mixture. The Brownian motion of micro particles is a motion caused by molecular collisions in a mixed solution, indicating that water and ethanol solution has inhomogeneity in the scale of micron particles. In this work, the macroscopic and microscopic viscosities of a mixed solution of water and tert-butanol were investigated with a Ubbelohde viscometer and the Brownian motion of spherical particles, respectively. Furthermore, the rotational Brownian motion of ellipsoidal particles in a mixed solution of water and ethanol also shows behavior that could not be explained by the viscosity of the bulk solution.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

ブラウン運動は、物理・化学・生体内でも見られる普遍的な現象である。アルコール水溶液は、構成する粒子が水とアルコールの2種類であるシンプルな複雑系であるが、そのアルコール水溶液においてもブラウン運動に異常性が見られることは注目に値する。多くの現実系は混合系であり、混合溶液中の微粒子のブラウン運動のダイナミクスに関する実験的知見の構築は、生体内での移送過程のモデル化に貢献できる研究である。
