By performing an ensemble of molecular dynamics simulations, the model-dependent ionisation state is computed for strongly interacting systems self-consistently. This is accomplished through a free energy minimisation framework based on the…
Mean-field treatment (MFT) is frequently applied to approximately predict the dynamics of quantum optics systems, to simplify the system Hamiltonian through neglecting certain modes that are driven strongly or couple weakly with other…
In the study of colloidal, biological and electrochemical systems, it is customary to treat surfaces, macromolecules and electrodes as homogeneously charged. This simplified approach is proven successful in most cases, but fails to describe…
The Poisson Boltzmann equation is known for its success in describing the Debye layer that arises from the charge separation phenomenon at the silica/water interface. However, by treating only the mobile ionic charges in the liquid, the…
