Non local dielectric effects on the dielectric barrier of an ion channel
In this thesis we study non-local dielectric models on the sub-nanometer scale. In particular, we focus on the effect of non-local electrostatics on the potential barrier of a water-filled ion channel through a lipid cell membrane, and on the interaction between ions within such an ion channel. A po...
