摘要
The results of the first nonequilibrium molecular dynamics simulation of transport of a gas mixture through a carbon nanopore, in the presence of an external chemical potential gradient, are reported. While the structure of the pore walls and the composition of the mixture have essentially no effect on the separation factor, the temperature of the system and the pore size strongly influence it. The results are in qualitative agreement with the new experimental data that are presented in this Letter.
