Abstract

Experiments were carried out to study the transmission of \(3\hbox {-keV Ne}^{7+}\) ions through nanocapillaries in polyethylene terephthalate (PET). The capillaries were highly parallel with a diameter of 230 nm and a length of \(12\, \mu \hbox {m}\). The transmission during the charging and discharging processes was measured for different tilt angles ranging from \(3^{\circ }\) to \(9^{\circ }\). An advanced instrumental technique was employed to avoid recharging effects during the discharging process. During discharging, the decay of the guided transmission is found to be non-exponential depending strongly on the tilt angle. The experiments were interpreted by model calculations using a minimum number of free parameters. The discharging results for different tilt angles are reproduced by a single decay function involving nonlinear properties. After measuring the discharge for nearly 7 hours, the charge depletion rate was found to be unexpectedly small resulting in a long duration of the charges in the capillary.
