Abstract
In this work, we suggest a theoretical model that explains the interesting phenomenon of the regular oscillations of the current of ions transmitted through a dielectric capillary. The model is based on the assumption that upon the collision of ions with capillary wall, defects having a vacant state of electrons are generated on its surface. If the concentration of these defects reaches the value at which the wave functions of the electron vacancies overlap, a vacant zone of nonlocalized states appears, and the charge allowing noncontact transmission of ions drains quickly. In other words, the capillary closes.
