Charge-stabilized colloidal suspensions can be conveniently described by formally reducing the macroion-microion mixture to an equivalent one-component system of pseudo-particles. Within this scheme, the utility of a linear response…

We estimate polarizabilities of atoms in molecules without electron density, using a Voronoi tesselation approach instead of conventional density partitioning schemes. The resulting atomic dispersion coefficients are calculated, as well as…
Elements of a new model of strong interactions are described. The model is based on an extension of electrodynamics that is derived from a regular Lagrangian density. Here the electric and magnetic fields of Maxwell equations play a…

As is well known in electrolyte theory, electrostatic fields are attenuated by the presence of mobile charges in the solution. This seems to limit the possibility of an electrostatic repulsion model of biological interactions such as cell…
The effective electrostatic interaction between a pair of colloids, both of them located close to each other at an electrolyte interface, is studied by employing the full, nonlinear Poisson-Boltzmann (PB) theory within classical density…
We consider the response of a multicomponent body to $n$ fields, such as electric fields, magnetic fields, temperature gradients, concentration gradients, etc., where each component, which is possibly anisotropic, may cross couple the…
The screening of an individual low-dimensional object can be strongly influenced by the objects nearby. We propose that such environment's influence can be absorbed into an effective polarizability, instead of its intrinsic polarizability.…
Amorphous media at finite temperatures, be them liquids, colloids or glasses, are made of interacting particles that move chaotically due to thermal energy, colliding and scattering continuously off each other. When the average…
We study the screening of an external potential produced by a two-dimensional gas of charged excitons (trions). We determine the contribution to the dielectric function induced by these composite charged particles within a random phase…
We investigate the screening properties of Gaussian charge models of electrolyte solutions by analysing the asymptotic behaviour of the pair distribution functions. We use a combination of Monte-Carlo simulations with the hyper-netted chain…
While the electromagnetic force is microscopically simply the Lorentz force, its macroscopic form is more complicated, and given by expressions such as the Maxwell stress tensor and the Kelvin force. Their derivation is fairly opaque, at…
From a multiple scale analysis, we find an analytic solution of spherical and cylindrical Poisson-Boltzmann theory for both a 1:2 (monovalent co-ions, divalent counter-ions) and a 2:1 (reversed situation) electrolyte. Our approach consists…
We combine Maxwell's equations with Eulers's equation, related to a velocity field of an immaterial fluid, where the density of mass is replaced by a charge density. We come out with a differential system able to describe a relevant…
We are interested in a kinetic equation intended to describe the interaction of particles with their environment. The environment is modeled by a collection of local vibrational degrees of freedom. We establish the existence of weak…
