Wall-mediated self-diffusion in slit and cylindrical pores.
Analytical and numerical simulation studies are performed on the diffusion of simple fluids in both thin slits and long cylindrical pores. In the region of large Knudsen numbers, where the wall-particle collisions outnumber the intermolecular collisions, we obtain analytical results for the self-diffusion coefficients for both slit and cylindrical pore shapes. The results show anomalous behavio...
متن کاملEntropic selectivity of binary mixtures in cylindrical pores.
We show that a simple model consisting of a binary hard-sphere mixture in a narrow cylindrical pore can lead to strong size selectivity by considering a situation where each species of the mixture sees a different radius of the cylinder. Two mechanisms are proposed to explain the observed results depending on the radius of the cylinder: for large radii the selectivity is driven by an enhancemen...
متن کاملAbsence of simulation evidence for critical depletion in slit pores.
Recent Monte Carlo simulation studies of a Lennard-Jones fluid confined to a mesoscopic slit pore have reported evidence of "critical depletion" in the pore local number density near the liquid-vapor critical point. In this Brief Report we demonstrate that the observed depletion effect is in fact a simulation artifact arising from small systematic errors associated with the use of long range co...
متن کاملViruses Challenge Selectivity Barrier of Nuclear Pores
Exchange between the nucleus and the cytoplasm occurs through nuclear pore complexes (NPCs) embedded in the double membrane of the nuclear envelope. NPC permeability barrier restricts the entry of inert molecules larger than 5 nm in diameter but allows facilitated entry of selected cargos, whose size can reach up to 39 nm. The translocation of large molecules is facilitated by nuclear transport...
متن کاملOrientational orders of small anisotropic molecules confined in slit pores.
Based on a constant-pressure Monte Carlo molecular simulation, we have studied orientationally ordered transitions of small anisotropic molecules confined in two parallel hard walls. These molecules are modeled by the hard Gaussian overlap model. The molecular elongations of the chosen molecules are so small that the molecules cannot form stable liquid-crystal (LC) phases in the bulk. But in th...
