Outline of Final Research Achievements

In our previous studies, we reported that electrodeposition under magnetic fields (magneto-electrodeposition) is able to produce chiral surfaces on metal films. In this study, we have conducted the magneto-electrodeposition of copper metal under various conditions. As a result, we have found the mechanism of chiral surface formation and the chiral recognition of amino acids on such chiral surfaces. Furthermore, we have found that chiral surfaces can be formed by new methods of magneto-electrochemical etching and rotational magneto-electrodeposition.
