Poisson-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 کاملPoisson-Nernst-Planck equations in a ball
The Poisson Nernst-Planck equations for charge concentration and electric potential in a ball is a model of electro-diffusion of ions in the head of a neuronal dendritic spine. We study the relaxation and the steady state when an initial charge of ions is injected into the ball. The steady state equation is similar to the Liouville-Gelfand-Bratú-type equation with the difference that the bounda...
متن کاملTest of Poisson-Nernst-Planck Theory in Ion Channels
The recent Perspectives on Ion Permeation have brought the debate about the applicability of the Poisson-Nernst-Planck (PNP) theory in ion channels to a sharp focus. Despite the differences in opinion, all sides of the debate agree that the mean field approximation in PNP theory needs to be checked by comparison with a more accurate theory; e.g., Brownian dynamics (BD). Clearly, for such a test...
متن کاملPoisson–Nernst–Planck model for an ionic transistor based on a semiconductor membrane
In this paper we developed a Poisson–Nernst– Planck model of an ionic current flowing through a nanopore in a layered solid-state membrane made of a single highlydoped n-Si layer sandwiched between two thick oxide layers which we call the ionic transistor. We studied this layered membrane for a range of source-drain voltages while keeping the gate (the semiconductor membrane) voltage fixed at a...
متن کاملThree-dimensional Poisson-Nernst-Planck theory studies: influence of membrane electrostatics on gramicidin A channel conductance.
A recently introduced real-space lattice methodology for solving the three-dimensional Poisson-Nernst-Planck equations is used to compute current-voltage relations for ion permeation through the gramicidin A ion channel embedded in membranes characterized by surface dipoles and/or surface charge. Comparisons to a variety of experimental results, presented herein, have proven largely successful....
