Poisson-Nernst-Planck model of ion current rectification through a nanofluidic diode.
We have investigated ion current rectification properties of a recently prepared bipolar nanofluidic diode. This device is based on a single conically shaped nanopore in a polymer film whose pore walls contain a sharp boundary between positively and negatively charged regions. A semiquantitative model that employs Poisson and Nernst-Planck equations predicts current-voltage curves as well as io...
متن کاملPoisson-Boltzmann-Nernst-Planck model.
The Poisson-Nernst-Planck (PNP) model is based on a mean-field approximation of ion interactions and continuum descriptions of concentration and electrostatic potential. It provides qualitative explanation and increasingly quantitative predictions of experimental measurements for the ion transport problems in many areas such as semiconductor devices, nanofluidic systems, and biological systems,...
متن کاملCarbohydrate-actuated nanofluidic diode: switchable current rectification in a nanopipette.
Nanofluidic structures share many properties with ligand-gated ion channels. However, actuating ion conductance in artificial systems is a challenge. We have designed a system that uses a carbohydrate-responsive polymer to modulate ion conductance in a quartz nanopipette. The cationic polymer, a poly(vinylpyridine) quaternized with benzylboronic acid groups, undergoes a transition from swollen ...
متن کاملRectification in synthetic conical nanopores: a one-dimensional Poisson-Nernst-Planck model.
Ion transport in biological and synthetic nanochannels is characterized by phenomena such as ion current fluctuations and rectification. Recently, it has been demonstrated that nanofabricated synthetic pores can mimic transport properties of biological ion channels [P. Yu. Apel, Nucl. Instrum Methods Phys. Res. B 184, 337 (2001); Z. Siwy, Europhys. Lett. 60, 349 (2002)]. Here, the ion current r...
متن کاملIon flux through membrane channels - An enhanced algorithm for the Poisson-Nernst-Planck model
A novel algorithmic scheme for numerical solution of the 3D Poisson-Nernst-Planck model is proposed. The algorithmic improvements are universal and independent of the detailed physical model. They include three major steps: an adjustable gradient-based step value, an adjustable relaxation coefficient, and an optimized segmentation of the modeled space. The enhanced algorithm significantly accel...
