SUMMARY:Séminaire général : Radha BOYA (Manchester UK) Angstrom-scale fluidic channels :Molecular transport
DESCRIPTION:\n\n\n\n\nRésumé : Understanding molecular transport in nano/angstrom scale channels has practical relevancein applications such as membrane desalination, blue energy, supercapacitors and batteries, as well as inunderstanding ionic flow through biological channels. Synthetic Å-channels are now a reality with theemergence of several cutting-edge bottom-up and top-down fabrication methods. In particular, the useof atomically thin 2D-materials and nanotubes as components to build fluidic conduits has pushed thelimits of fabrication to the Å-scale. In this talk, I will discuss about angstrom (Å)-scale capillaries whichare rectangular slit-shaped channels and are created by extracting one-atomic layer out of a crystal [1].\n\n\n\nThe Å-capillary is an antipode of graphene and can be dubbed as “2D-nothing”. What is intriguing hereis, the dimensions of the thinnest channels being comparable to the size of a water molecule.The Å-capillaries have helped probe several intriguing molecular-scale phenomena experimentally,including: water flow under extreme atomic-scale confinement [1] complete steric exclusion of ions[3,5], specular reflection and quantum effects in gas reflections off a surface [2,7], voltage gating of ionflows [4] translocation of DNA [6]. I will present ionic flows induced by stimuli (electric, pressure,concentration gradient) and discuss the importance of ionic parameters that are often overlooked inthe selectivity between ions, along with ionic memory effects [8].\n\n\n\n[1] B.
