摘要: DepartmentofChemicalandBiomolecularEngineering,CenterforMicrofluidicsandMedicalDiagnostics,UniversityofNotreDame,Notre Dame, Indiana 46556, USA(Received 16 July 2008; revised manuscript received 27 September published December 2008)The ion flux dynamics across a straight nanoslot is imaged to understand the nonequilibriumphenomenon of overlimiting current density nanoporous membrane. With slow ac field, anion-depletion front generated intermittently from one end nanochannel, and vortex instabilityfirst predicted by Rubinstein, Staude, Kedem [Desalination 69, 101 (1988).] found arrest self-similar diffusive growth. This electrokinetic instability evolves into stationary interfacial vortexarray that specifies current, independent external stirring or convective flow.
