We simulate model systems of charged spherical particles in their counterion solution and measure the thermodynamic pressure and the pair distribution function from which we derive effective potentials of mean force. For a system with only…
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 consider an elastic-plastic medium whose motion equations are isomorphic to Maxwell's equations. Electrical charges are modeled by pressure centers of the medium. The electric interaction is shown to be concerned with the conservation…
We discuss the electromagnetic properties of both a charged free particle, and a charged particle bounded by an harmonic potential, within collapse models. By choosing a particularly simple, yet physically relevant, collapse model, and…
Magnetic fields are ubiquitous across different physical systems of current interest; from the early Universe, compact astrophysical objects and heavy-ion collisions to condensed matter systems. A proper treatment of the effects produced by…
In this Colloquium, the main features of the electron-lattice interaction are discussed and high values of the critical temperature up to room temperature could be provided. While the issue of the mechanism of superconductivity in the high…
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…
Electrostatic polarization is important in many nano-/micro-scale physical systems such as colloidal suspensions, biopolymers, and nanomaterials assembly. The calculation of polarization potential requires an efficient algorithm for solving…
Conventional and unconventional superconductivity, respectively, arise from attractive (electron-phonon) and repulsive (many-body Coulomb) interactions with fixed-sign and sign-reversal pairing symmetries. Although heavy-fermions, cuprates,…
Attraction between two indentical objects uniformly charged in solution seems intuitively surprising on the one hand because we know that such objects do repel in vacuum and on another hand because this simple mental picture is still…
We investigate the electrostatic interactions between two charged anisotropic conductors using a combination of asymptotic and numerical methods. For widely separated particles, we employ the method of reflections to analyze the…
A characteristic property of many soft matter systems is an ultrasoft effective interaction between their structural units. This softness often leads to complex behavior. In particular, ultrasoft systems under pressure demonstrate…
Coulomb law is one of the fundamental laws in Physics. It describes the magnitude of the electrostatic force between two electric charges. Counterintuitively the repulsion force between two equal electric charges in a vacuum, stated by the…
Counterion-mediated attractions between like-charged fluid membranes are long-ranged and non-pairwise additive at high temperatures. At zero temperature, however, they are pairwise additive and decay exponentially with the membrane…
The effects of image charges (i.e., induced surface charges of polarization) in spherical geometry and their implication for charged colloidal systems are investigated. We study analytically and exactly a single microion interacting with a…
Spatially separated electron systems remain strongly coupled by electron-electron interactions even when they cannot exchange particles, provided that the layer separation d is comparable to a characteristic distance l between charge…
The interaction of electrically charged particles in a dilute gas of point--like magnetic dipoles is studied. We show that the interaction potential at small distances has a linear piece due to overlap of the dipole clouds gathered near…
We develop a general formalism to investigate the effect of quenched fixed charge disorder on effective electrostatic interactions between charged surfaces in a one-component (counterion-only) Coulomb fluid. Analytical results are…
Because micro-ions accumulate around highly charged colloidal particles in electrolyte solutions, the relevant parameter to compute their interactions is not the bare charge, but an effective (or renormalized) quantity, whose value is…
We study the ionic equilibria and interactions of neutral semi-permeable spherical shells immersed in electrolyte solutions, including polyions. Although the shells are uncharged, only one type of ions of the electrolyte can permeate them,…
