Abstract
We theoretically study physical properties of solutes placed in a straight line and at regular intervals. The solute is a rigid-body and has an arrow-like shape, which changes its direction up (↑) or down (↓). If the rigid solutes are immersed in a continuum solvent, nothing happens in the system (it is an obvious fact). However, the property of the directions differs in a granular solvent (e.g., hard-sphere solvent). Depending on the distance between the nearest-neighbor solutes, the directional correlation between them is periodically changed as follows: “parallel-tendency (↑↑)” ↔ “random” ↔ “antiparallel-tendency (↑↓)”. Studying a newly created nanosystem, it is able to discover interesting properties hiding in the nanosystem. We believe that such an approach contributes to the development of nanotechnology.
