Cover Story: The guiding of highly charged ions through a single nanocapillary is simulated in comparison with previous experimental results for capillaries in PET polymers. The simulations are carried out using 3-keV Ne7+ ions injected into capillaries with diameters ranging from 100 nm to 400 nm. In the calculations, non-linear effects are applied to model the charge transport along the capillary surface and into the bulk, depleting the deposited charges from the capillary walls. A method is presented to determine the parameters of the surface and bulk charge relaxation by reproducing the oscillatory structure of the mean emission angle. A common set of charge depletion rates is determined with relatively high accuracy, providing confidence in the present theoretical analysis. Finally, dynamic non-linear effects on the surface and bulk relaxation rates are revealed from the simulations. View this paper
