Simulation of Steady-State Non-Equilibrium Ion Distributions Within a Finite-length Nanofluidic Channel
ORAL
Abstract
Steady-state non-equilibrium distributions of two species of mono-valent ions near and within a charged 2D nanofluidic channel have been examined with and without electroosmotic flow. Large reservoirs are connected by the nanofluidic channel to simulate bulk conditions. Far-from-equilibrium applied voltages create a charge polarization across the nanochannel when the Debye length is comparable to the channel width. Depletion zones of each ion species are observed.
