| Research Abstract |
For the understanding of ultrafast dynamics, we have investigated the fluctuations and energy relaxation dynamics of intra- and inter-molecular motions in liquid water by exploiting molecular dynamics simulations. In addition, we have examined chemical reaction dynamics in solutions and proteins. For the understanding of slow dynamics, we elucidated the molecular origin of the rapid increase in isobaric specific heat of water with decreasing temperature and revealed the relationship between the temperature dependence of the lifetime of dynamic heterogeneity and fragility based on the systematic analysis of the lifetime of heterogeneous dynamics in supercooled liquids.
