摘要
The time evolution of angular distributions of 7-keV Ne7+ ions transmitted through SiO2 nanocapillaries is studied starting with already-charged capillaries, as well as with fully discharged capillaries, under well-defined conditions. We deduce the rearrangement of charge patches for the charged capillaries from the time evolution of the angular distributions. The rearrangement time is found to be orders of magnitude shorter than the discharge time. Combined with a model calculation, we derive quantitative information on the formation of charge patches downstream of the entrance patch during charging-up, starting with the fully discharged capillaries. A pattern of a small number of charge patches guiding ions is deduced in the stationary state of transmission. The model predicts the width and broadening of the transmitted intensity in accord with measurements. We find strong evidence that the deposited charge patches, formed during charge-up, remain localized in the steady state of ion transmission.
