Aiming at the issues of controlling the translocation speed of DNA through a solid-state nanopore and enlarging the signal-to-noise ratio of ionic current modulation, which are challenges for the application of nanopore technology in DNA detection, salt concentration gradients are applied across the nanopore to investigate their influence on the DNA translocation time and signal-to-noise ratio. Experimental data demonstrates that, in symmetric concentration conditions, both the current blockade and dwell time for A-DNA translocation through a solid-state nanopore increase along with potassium chloride concentration. When the concentration in the trans chamber is decreased from 1 to 0.1 mol/L, keeping the concentration of the cis chamber at 1 mol/L, the normalized current blockade is found to be increased by one order. The increased dwell time and enhanced signal-to-noise ratio are achieved with salt gradients across the nanopore, which can improve the sensitivity when detecting DNA samples.
为了探讨纳米带横截面积和制造过程中可能引起的凸起结构对多层石墨烯纳米带法向热传导的影响,采用了能够反映纳米尺度下声子波属性和量子效应的原子格林函数方法来进行计算研究.结果表明,石墨烯纳米带单位面积法向热导与横截面积呈负相关,并最终趋近于体态值100 M W/(m2·K).造成此现象的原因是随着横截面积的增大,增加的声子支主要位于高频区域,而相对于低频声子,高频声子在界面处的透射值较小.另外,声子局域态密度和透射函数的计算结果表明,凸起会改变热流的传递方向和降低热流传递的效率,从而减小法向热导.

The surface and adhesion forces between chitosan- coated mica surfaces in an acetic acid buffer solution were measured using a surface force apparatus （SFA）. The force- distance profiles were obtained under different pressure conditions. It was found that the chitosan was adsorbed on the mica surface and formed a stable nanofilm under acid conditions. The adsorbed chitosan nanofilms induced a short- range monotonically steric force when two such surfaces came close in the acid buffer. The adhesion forces between the two chitosan-coated mica surfaces varied with the loads. Strong adhesion between the two chitosan-coated mica surfaces was observed at high pressure. Such pressure-dependent adhesion properties are most likely related to the molecular configurations and hydrogen bonds reordering under high confinement.
