Study on the Membrane Electroporation Threshold with the Applied Terahertz Electric Field

The terahertz electric field is an efficient tool with unique advantages in the fields of biology and medicine. To make better use of this tool, a series of molecular dynamics simulations are performed to study the electroporation threshold with the applied THz electric field. Results show that the electroporation threshold increases with the THz electric field frequency increasing. And this phenomenon can be explained from the view of the polarization of water dipoles.
