NANOCONFINED POLYELECTROLYTE BRUSHES: THERMODYNAMICS, ELECTROSTATICS AND TRANSPORT Polyelectrolyte (PE) grafting on the solid-liquid interface of a nano-channel
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Polyelectrolyte (PE) grafting on the solid-liquid interface of a nano-channel renders tremendous functionalities to the nano-channel. These grafted PE molecules attain "brush"-like configuration for large grafting density (σ), which makes the nano-channel (often denoted as soft nanochannel) capable of applications such as ion manipulation, ion sensing, current rectification, nano-fluidic diode action, and flow regulation.

Charge-Dependent Transport Switching of Single Molecular Ions in a Weak Polyelectrolyte Multilayer
The tunable nature of weak polyelectrolyte multilayers makes them ideal candidates for drug loading and delivery, water filtration, and separations, yet the lateral transport of charged molecules in these systems remains largely unexplored at the single molecule level. We report the direct measurement of the charge-dependent, pH-tunable, multimodal interaction of single charged molecules with a...
متن کاملGuiding of Electrons in a Few-Mode Ballistic Graphene Channel.
In graphene, the extremely fast charge carriers can be controlled by electron-optical elements, such as waveguides, in which the transmissivity is tuned by the wavelength. In this work, charge carriers are guided in a suspended ballistic few-mode graphene channel, defined by electrostatic gating. By depleting the channel, a reduction of mode number and steps in the conductance are observed, unt...
