Using molecular dynamics simulations, we show that, when subject to a periodic external electric field, a nanopore in ionic solution acts as a capacitor with memory (memcapacitor) at various frequencies and strengths of the electric held Most importantly, the hysteresis loop of this memcapacitor shows both negative and diverging capacitance as a function of the voltage The origin of this effect stems from the slow polarizability of the ionic solution due to the finite mobility of ions in water We develop a microscopic quantitative model which captures the main features we observe in the simulations and suggest experimental tests of our predictions We also suggest a possible memory mechanism due to the transport of ions through the nanopore itself, which may be observed at small frequencies These effects may be important both in DNA sequencing proposals using nanopores and possibly in the dynamics of action potentials in neurons
