A theoretical analysis of the voltage-current relationship is carried out in a membrane consisting of two fixed charge regions, of opposite sign, in contact. This is achieved by applying the diffusion equations to this system in conjunction with the Poisson-Boltzmann equation. The latter has been successfully applied by Mauro to determine the profiles of the electrostatic potential in his treatment of the capacitative property of such a system. It is shown that the system displays the property of rectification and is very similar in many respects to a solid state P-N junction diode. It is also shown that for the case of reverse bias, an electrical breakdown phenomena can occur. This is referred to as the "punch-through" effect. "Punch-through" was observed in experiments on the electrical characteristics of the membranes of Chara australis and Nitella sp. The experimental results are discussed in relation to the theoretical analysis.
对由两个带相反电荷的固定电荷区域接触构成的膜中的电压 - 电流关系进行了理论分析。这是通过将扩散方程与泊松 - 玻尔兹曼方程一起应用于该系统来实现的。后者已被毛罗成功应用，以确定他在处理此类系统的电容特性时的静电势分布。结果表明，该系统具有整流特性，并且在许多方面与固态P - N结二极管非常相似。还表明，在反向偏置的情况下，可能会出现电击穿现象。这被称为“穿通”效应。在对澳大利亚轮藻和裸藻属的膜的电学特性进行的实验中观察到了“穿通”现象。结合理论分析对实验结果进行了讨论。
