An empirical method to characterize displacement distribution functions for anomalous and transient diffusion

Le Qiao, Nicholas Ilow, Maxime Ignacio +1

We propose a practical empirical fitting function to characterize the non-Gaussian displacement distribution functions (DispD) often observed for heterogeneous diffusion problems.…

Capture and translocation of a rod-like molecule by a nanopore: orientation, charge distribution and hydrodynamics

Le Qiao, Gary W. Slater

We investigate the translocation of rods with different charge distributions using hybrid Langevin Dynamics and Lattice Boltzmann (LD-LB) simulations. Electrostatic interactions ar…

Ratcheting charged polymers through symmetric nanopores using pulsed fields: Designing a low pass filter for concentrating DNA

Le Qiao, Kai Szuttor, Christian Holm +1

We present a new concept for the separation of DNA molecules by contour length that combines a nanofluidic ratchet, nanopore translocation and pulsed fields. Using Langevin Dynamic…

An efficient Kinetic Monte Carlo to study analyte capture by a nanopore: Transients, boundary conditions and time-dependent fields

Le Qiao, Maxime Ignacio, Gary W. Slater

To better understand the capture process by a nanopore, we introduce an efficient Kinetic Monte Carlo (KMC) algorithm that can simulate long times and large system sizes by mapping…

Capture of rod-like molecules by a nanopore: defining an "orientational capture radius"

Le Qiao, Gary W. Slater

Both the translational diffusion coefficient and the electrophoretic mobility of a short rod-like molecule (such as dsDNA) that is being pulled towards a nanopore by an ele…

Voltage-Driven Translocation: Defining a Capture Radius

Le Qiao, Maxime Ignacio, Gary W. Slater

Analyte translocation involves three phases: (i) diffusion in the loading solution; (ii) capture by the pore; (iii) threading. The capture process remains poorly characterized beca…
