Scaling behavior for ionic transport and its fluctuations in individual carbon nanotubes

In this letter we perform an experimental study of ionic transport and current fluctuations inside individual Carbon Nanotubes (CNT). The conductance exhibits a power law behavior at low salinity, with an exponent close to 1/3 versus the salt concentration. This scaling behavior is rationalized in terms of a model accounting for hydroxide adsorption at the (hydrophobic) carbon surface, leading to a density dependent surface charge. This is in contrast to boron nitride nanotubes which exhibit a constant surface conductance. Further we measure the low frequency noise of the ionic current in CNT and show that the amplitude of the noise scales with the surface charge, with data collapsing on a master curve for the various studied CNT at a given pH.
