Abstract

Nanofluidic devices are finding growing interest for a variety of applications. An initial report is presented here on a wide range of parameters influencing transport of ionic species as they translocate across solid-state nanopores. AC electrical bias at low ionic concentration with overlapping electric double layers provides an enhancement of ionic flux over pure DC bias. Furthermore, results also indicate that concentration and pH gradients can be maintained across solid-state nanopores for extended periods of time that can last for several hours in the absence of driving forces such as electric fields.
