In this work we present a three-dimensional numerical simulation technique for the study of ion permeation through ion channels embedded in silicon membranes, that can be exploited for sensor applications. The results of this work clarify how the charges embedded in the protein forming the ion channel can influence ionic conductance through silicon membrane slabs, controlling the channel conductance and selectivity with respect to ionic species.

Abstract
In this work we present a three-dimensional numerical simulation technique for the study of ion permeation through ion channels embedded in silicon membranes, that can be exploited for sensor applications. The results of this work clarify how the charges embedded in the protein forming the ion channel can influence ionic conductance through silicon membrane slabs, controlling the channel conductance and selectivity with respect to ionic species.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
