Importance of polyelectrolyte modification for rectifying the ionic current in conically shaped nanochannels
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Due to their specific geometry, conical nanochannels/nanopores are capable of exhibiting several interesting electrokinetic phenomena including, for example, ion concentration polarization (ICP) and ion current rectification (ICR). Extending previous analyses, we consider two types of nanochannels: only the inner surface of a nanochannel is functionalized by a polyelectrolyte (PE) layer in a type I nanochannel, and both its outer and inner surfaces are functionalized in a type II nanochannel. The influences of the thickness of a double layer and that of the PE layer on ICR are examined through numerical simulation. We show that the ICP of a type I nanochannel is more significant than that of the corresponding type II nanochannel. The behavior of the rectification factor of the former as the bulk salt concentration varies also differs significantly from that of the latter. In particular, the rectification factor of a type I nanochannel at a low bulk salt concentration shows an inversion.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
