(color online) The geometric illustration of PET nanocapillary with d = 100 nm in diameter and L = 10 μm in length (not to scale). The coordinates y and z are indicated in the graph, and the direction of x axis is perpendicular to the paper and points to it (not to show). The ions enter into the capillary with tilt angle ψ relative to the capillary axis, i.e., z axis.
