For conventional ion traps, the trapping potential is close to independent of the electronic state, providing confinement for ions dependent primarily on their charge-to-mass ratio $Q/m$. In contrast, storing ions within an optical dipole…
We study the inhomogeneous Landau equation with Coulomb potential and derive a new continuation criterion: a smooth solution can be uniquely continued for as long as it remains bounded. This provides, to our knowledge, the first…
We study the perturbation by a critical term and a $(p-1)$-superlinear subcritical nonlinearity of a quasilinear elliptic equation containing a singular potential. By means of variational arguments and a version of the…
We calculate interdiffusion coefficients in a two-component, weakly or strongly coupled ion plasma (gas or liquid, composed of two ion species immersed into a neutralizing electron background). We use an effective potential method proposed…

We study the equilibrium statistical mechanics of classical two-dimensional Coulomb systems living on a pseudosphere (an infinite surface of constant negative curvature). The Coulomb potential created by one point charge exists and goes to…
We report a numerical investigation of two colloids immersed in a critical solvent, with the aim of quantifying the effective colloid-colloid interaction potential. By turning on an attraction between the colloid and the solvent particles…

In relativistic heavy ion collisions an exact multipole decomposition of the Lorentz transformed time dependent Coulomb potentials in a coordinate system with equal constant, but opposite velocities of the ions, is obtained for both zero…
Finite systems in confining potentials are known to undergo structural transitions similar to phase transitions. However, these systems are inhomogeneous, and their "melting" point may depend on the position in the trap and vary with the…
A semianalytical approach is developed to calculate the effective pair potential of rigid arbitrarily shaped macroions with a nonvanishing particle volume, valid within linear screening theory and the mean-field approximation. The essential…

In this paper, we study the Dirichlet elliptic problem $(\mathcal{P}_\varepsilon)$: $-\Delta u +V\,u = u^{p-\varepsilon}$, $u>0$ in $\Omega$, $u=0$ on $\partial\Omega$, where $\Omega\subset \R^n$ ( $n\geq 3$) is a bounded domain, $V$ is a…
