Scaling of ionic conductance in a fluctuating single-layer nanoporous membrane.

ABSTRACT: Single-layer membranes have emerged as promising candidates for applications requiring high transport rates due to their low resistance to molecular transport. Owing to their atomically thin structure, these membranes experience significant microscopic fluctuations, emphasizing the need to explore their impact on ion transport processes. In this study, we investigate the effects of membrane fluctuations on the elementary scaling behavior of ion conductance [Formula: see text] as a function of ion concentration [Formula: see text], represented as [Formula: see text], using molecular dynamics simulations. Our findings reveal that membrane fluctuations not only alter the conductance coefficient [Formula: see text] but also the power-law exponent [Formula: see text]. We identify two distinct f
