Attraction between like-charged colloidal particles induced by a surface a density - functional analysis

Soft Condensed Matter 2009-10-31 v1 Materials Science

Abstract

We show that the first non-linear correction to the linearised Poisson-Boltzman n (or DLVO) theory of effective pair interactions between charge-stabilised, co lloidal particles near a charged wall leads to an attractive component of entro pic origin. The position and depth of the potential compare favourably with rec ent experimental measurements
