In this paper, based on geometric singular perturbation analysis of a quasi-one dimensional Poisson-Nernst-Planck model for ionic flows, we study the problem of zero current condition for ionic flows through membrane channels with a simple…
The nanoscopic characterization of ferroelectric thin films is crucial from their device application point of view. Standard characterization techniques are based on detecting the nanoscopic charge compensation current (switching current)…
The main goal of this work is to examine the qualitative effect of ion sizes via a steady-state boundary value problem. We study a one-dimensional version of a Poisson-Nernst-Planck system with a local hard-sphere potential model for ionic…
We develop a simple model of ionic current through neuronal membranes as a function of membrane potential and extracellular ion concentration. The model combines a simplified Poisson-Nernst-Planck (PNP) model of ion transport through…
We propose a mechanism to substantially rectify radiative heat flow by matching thin films of metal-to-insulator transition materials and polar dielectrics in the electromagnetic near field. By leveraging the distinct scaling behaviors of…
Superconducting thin-film electronics are attractive for their low power consumption, fast operating speeds, and ease of interface with cryogenic systems such as single-photon detector arrays, and quantum computing devices. However, the…
We show that in a simple experiment at undergraduate level, suitable to be performed in classes of science and engineering students, it is possible to test accurately, on a popular 1N4148 p-n diode, the range of the junction currents where…
Supercurrent diodes are nonreciprocal electronic elements whose switching current depends on their flow direction. Recently, a variety of composite systems combining different materials and engineered asymmetric superconducting devices have…
We investigate a model nanopore sensor that is able to detect analyte ions that are present in the electrolyte solution in very small concentrations. The nanopore selectively binds the analyte ions with which the local concentrations of the…
We evaluate the exponentially rare fluctuations of the ionic current for a dilute electrolyte by means of macroscopic fluctuation theory. We consider the fluctuating hydrodynamics of a fluid electrolyte described by a stochastic…
It has been recently shown that a viscosity gradient could drive electrical current through a negatively charged nanochannel (Wiener and Stein, arXiv: 1807.09106). To understand the physics underlying this phenomenon, we employed the…
Semiconducting diode with nonreciprocal transport effect underlies the cornerstone of contemporary integrated circuits (ICs) technology. Due to isotropic superconducting properties and the lack of breaking of inversion symmetry for…
The steady state of ions diffusion in polymer electrolytes at arbitrary applied voltage is analyzed in the framework of the Nernst-Planck-Poisson equation (NPP). The exact solution of the set of equations is found without the assumption of…
We present a scaling behavior of a rectifying bipolar nanopore as a function of the parameter $\xi=R_{\mathrm{P}}/(\lambda z_{\mathrm{if}})$, where $R_{\mathrm{P}}$ is the radius of the pore, $\lambda$ is the characteristic screening length…
The Poisson-Nernst-Planck (PNP) equations are fundamental for modeling ion transport in electrochemical systems, capturing the intricate interplay of concentration gradients, electric fields, and ion fluxes essential for applications such…
In this paper we report the theory describing the electro-osmotic flow in charged nanopores with constant radius and charge density driven by alternating current. We solve the ion and solution transport in unsteady conditions as described…
Asymmetric valences in a binary electrolyte can significantly affect the performance of systems such as reverse electrodialysis cells, batteries, and supercapacitors. To generate a theoretical understanding of this effect, we consider a…
We consider the Poisson-Nernst-Planck system which is well-accepted for describing dilute electrolytes as well as transport of charged species in homogeneous environments. Here, we study these equations in porous media whose electric…
In transport barriers, particularly H-mode edge pedestals, radial scale lengths can become comparable to the ion orbit width, causing neoclassical physics to become radially nonlocal. In this work, the resulting changes to neoclassical flow…
A simple experimentally accessible realization of current rectification by molecules (molecular films) bridging metal electrodes is described. It is based on the spatial asymmetry of the molecule and requires only one resonant conducting…
