| Abstract: | Solid-state nanopores can be formed using dielectric breakdown. With this technique a voltage is applied over a thin silicon-nitride membrane and the current is monitored. The current generates defects in the membrane. After a path of defects is formed through the membrane the membrane breaks down and a nanopore is formed. It is unclear whether this current is formed by electrons or protons. This research will go into the kinetics of nanopore formation and distinguish between electron and proton transport through an intact silicon-nitride membrane. |
