I. INTRODUCTION
Electric field equation that describes a constant potential difference SIGNO throughout the SinX film thickness (L). [2]
The potential difference is made through a DC power supply and the passage of electric current is controlled by an
amperemeter with a sensitivity range of nA (nanoamperes).
IMAGEN
The potential difference is going to generate an ion concentration on the membrane walls, which will allow the
production of leakage currents through it. The electrons transit in tunnel effect assisted by traps and are produced by
redox reactions on the surface or by field ionization of incorporated ions. The leakage current will therefore will
depend of the structural defects of the material. A concentration of traps produced by the induced electric field is
generated as well as a highly localized path that will yield and create the nanopore. [2]

In the potential drop of the whole system SIGNO is the contribution of:

The summation of the potential drop of electrodes, the KCI solution and the membrane. It is
important to emphasize that the is not necessarily symmetric in both compartments. [4] SINGO
of SIGNO is small since it has an electrochemically big area. [4] SIGNO of KCI has a small drop
of potential because of the high conductivity of electrolytes (CI-) and (K+). Therefore, the
electric field lines throughout the pore get closer:
IMAGEN FORMULA
Where Vpol is the polarization voltage. The pore resistance has two main factors, the internal
cylinder formed in the membrane and its access resistance. This last one becomes increasingly
significant if L (membrane distance) is less or equal in magnitude.

At first instance, the membrane internal cylindric resistance (see figure 5) is modeled as follows.
FORMULA
The resistance is inversely proportional to its transversal section (A= area), proportional to its
length (L) and to the environment resistivity (p). if it is thought that the nanopore is not a
