Abstract
Single-nanoparticle detection with cylindrical and pyramidal-shaped nanopores was systematically studied using FEM (Finite Element Modeling) method simulations and terminal currents were obtained. The effects of pore size, length and the ratio of particle and pore diameter on the blocked current were discussed. Based on the obtained results, an optimal geometric dimension of nanopore for single-nanoparticle detection is suggested.
