| Research Abstract |
We examine structure, phase behavior, and transport process in an ideal model of ion channel to establish a microscopic view of dynamics of ions. Anisotropic and limited hydrations of ions in a nano space are investigated by molecular dynamics simulations as well as peculiar phase behaviors of water in a nano space. In addition, we propose a strategic method to search for a new clathrate hydrate by investigating the selectivity of its crystalline structure, which is another type of confinement.
