Photon pressure chemistry of crystallization and molecular arrangement control in crystals

我们将研究对象从微胶体扩展到溶液中的单个有机分子或团簇，从而发展了光子压力的研究。因此，我们首次成功地利用光子压力诱导了氨基酸的结晶，并证明了晶体生长、多晶和相分离的时空控制。此外，还成功地实现了超分子蛋白质的结晶和盘状组装，这些结果为表面或界面特征在所有现象中起重要作用提供了新的启示。这些结果将为新的“光子压力化学”研究打开一扇新的大门。

We have developed a research on photon pressure by extending the research objects from microcolloids to single organic molecule or cluster in solution. As a result, we have for the first time succeeded in inducing crystallization of amino acids using photon pressure, and demonstrating the spatiotemporal control of crystal growth, polymorph, and phase separation. Furthermore, crystallization and disk-like assembling of supramolecular protein is also successfully achieved, and these all results provide new incite that features of surface or interface plays an important role for all phenomena. These results will open a new door for novel "Photon Pressure Chemistry" research.
