Kinetic aspects of the ion current layer at the center of a reconnection outflow exhaust near the X-type region are investigated by a two-dimensional particle-in-cell (PIC) simulation. The layer consists of magnetized electrons and…
Ion channels play a key role in regulating cell behavior and in electrical signaling. In these settings, polar and charged functional groups -- as well as protein response -- compensate for dehydration in an ion-dependent way, giving rise…
In order to make a densely packed assembly of undoped semiconductor nanocrystals conductive, it is usually gated by a room temperature ionic liquid. The ionic liquid enters the pores of the super-crystal assembly under the influence of an…
With the ability to selectively control ionic flux, biological protein ion channels perform a fundamental role in many physiological processes. For practical applications that require the functionality of a biological ion channel, graphene…
Ionic Liquids (ILs) are organic molten salts characterized by the total absence of solvent. They show remarkable properties: low vapor pressure, high ionic conductivity, high chemical, thermal and electrochemical stability. These…
We present and characterize fiber mirrors and a miniaturized ion-trap design developed to integrate a fiber-based Fabry-Perot cavity (FFPC) with a linear Paul trap for use in cavity-QED experiments with trapped ions. Our fiber-mirror…
Recent experimental studies have shed light on the intriguing possibility that ion channels exhibit cooperative behaviour. However, a comprehensive understanding of such cooperativity remains elusive, primarily due to limitations in…
Having smaller energy density than batteries, supercapacitors have exceptional power density and cyclability. Their energy density can be increased using ionic liquids and electrodes with sub-nanometer pores, but this tends to reduce their…
The venerable theory of electrokinetic phenomena rests on the hypothesis of a dilute solution of point-like ions near a weakly charged surface, whose potential relative to the bulk is of order the thermal voltage ($kT/e \approx 25$ mV at…
The magnetic field dependent critical current $I_{\text{c}}(B)$ of a Josephson junction is determined by the screening currents in its electrodes. In macroscopic junctions, a local vector potential drives the currents, however, in thin film…
We model and simulate a nanopore sensor that selectively binds analyte ions. This binding leads to the modulation of the local concentrations of the ions of the background electrolyte (KCl), and, thus, to the modulation of the ionic current…
The amorphous structure of nanoporous carbon electrodes in supercapacitors complicates the establishment of clear links between electrode geometry and capacitance. In this work, we examine how specific structural features govern charge…
A capacitor consisting of the [bmim][NTf$_2$] ionic liquid (IL) confined in between planar graphite electrodes has been investigated by molecular dynamics based on an all-atom, unpolarizable force field. Despite a few peculiarities due to…
We report voltage-clamp measurements through single conical nanopore obtained by chemical etching of a single ion-track in polyimide film. Special attention is paid on the pink noise of the ionic current (i.e. $1/f$ noise) measured with…
A large decrease is observed in the critical current density of YBCO coated conductors (CC) and related compounds when a strong perpendicular magnetic field is applied. While measurements are generally carried out at 77K only, here we…
Understanding the role of cholesterol in ionic liquid (IL)-membrane interactions is essential for advancing biomedical applications of ILs, including the development of innovative antimicrobial agents. In this study, we explore the…
The ability to induce regions of high and low ionic concentration adjacent to a permeselective membrane or nanochannel subject to an externally applied electric field (a phenomenon termed concentration-polarization) has been used for a…
Resonant chiral dielectric metasurfaces can support circular dichroism exceeding that of natural materials, but their small dissipative losses simultaneously limit the maximization of circular dichroism, which inherently relies on…
Tunable nanopores in elastomeric membranes have been used to study the dependence of ionic current blockade rate on the concentration and electrophoretic mobility of particles in aqueous suspensions. A range of nanoparticle sizes, materials…
We report the destabilization of the charge ordered insulating (COI) state in a localized region of Pr_0.63Ca_0.37MnO_3 single crystal by current injection using a scanning tunneling microscope tip. This leads to controlled phase separation…
