The Ionic Basis of Nervous Conduction.

Ionic conduction in the solid state

Solid state ionic conductors are important from an industrial viewpoint. A variety of such conductors have been found. In order to understand the reasons for high ionic conductivity in these solids, there have been a number of experimental, theoretical and computational studies in the literature. We provide here a survey of these investigations with focus on what is known and elaborate on issue...

Ionic Conduction and Molecular Structure of Molten FeCl3

Former experiments on molten FeCl3 have shown that, as for A1C13, melting is accompanied by a transition from sixfold to essentially fourfold coordination. However, in contrast to AICI3, the FeCl3 melt near freezing has an appreciable ionic conductivity. We propose a model for the structure of FeCl3 melt as consisting of closely packed Fe2Cl6 bitetrahedral molecules in equilibrium with (Fe2Cl5)...

TOPICAL REVIEW Diffusion and Ionic Conduction in Nanocrystalline Ceramics

We review case studies of diffusion in nanocrystalline ceramics, i. e. polycrystalline non-metallic materials with average grain sizes typically in the range from 5 nm to 50 nm. The experimental methods applied are on the one hand tracer diffusion or conductivity methods which are sensitive to macroscopic transport, on the other hand NMR techniques which, complementarily to the previous ones, g...

Ionic Coulomb Blockade and Resonant Conduction in Biological Ion Channels

The conduction and selectivity of calcium/sodium ion channels are described in terms of ionic Coulomb blockade, a phenomenon based on charge discreteness and an electrostatic model of an ion channel. This novel approach provides a unified explanation of numerous observed and modelled conductance and selectivity phenomena, including the anomalous mole fraction effect and discrete conduction band...
