We study suspensions of hydrophobic charged colloidal spheres dispersed in a demixed oil-water mixture by means of a modified Poisson-Boltzmann theory, taking into account image charge effects and partitioning of the monovalent ions. We…

We study discrete solvent effects on the interaction of two parallel charged surfaces in ionic aqueous solution. These effects are taken into account by adding a bilinear non-local term to the free energy of Poisson-Boltzmann theory. We…

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 present a continuation of our theoretical research into the influence of co-solvent polarizability on a differential capacitance of the electric double layer [EPL 111, 28002 (2015)]. We formulate a modified Poisson-Boltzmann theory,…

The behavior of electrolyte solutions close to a charged surface is studied theoretically. A modified Poisson-Boltzmann equation which takes into account the volume excluded by the ions in addition to the electrostatic interactions is…

The solution of the Poisson--Boltzmann equation for counterions confined between two charged plates is known analytically up to a constant, namely, the ion density in the middle of the channel. This quantity is relevant also because it…

We consider the Poisson-Boltzmann equation in a periodic cell, representative of a porous medium. It is a model for the electrostatic distribution of $N$ chemical species diluted in a liquid at rest, occupying the pore space with charged…

Model macroion solutions next to a charged wall show interface \textit{true overcharging}, charge reversal and inversion, and layering. Macroion layering is present, even if the wall or the macroparticle are \textit{uncharged} or if the…

We explore the effect of steric interaction on the ionic density distribution near a charged hard wall. For weakly charged walls, small particles, and monovalent ions the mean-field Poisson-Boltzmann equation provides an excellent…

Swollen stacks of finite-size disc-like Laponite clay platelets are investigated within a Wigner-Seitz cell model. Each cell is a cylinder containing a coaxial platelet at its centre, together with an overall charge-neutral distribution of…

For a wide class of noninteracting tight-binding models in one dimension we present an analytical solution for all scattering and edge states on a half-infinite system. Without assuming any symmetry constraints we consider models with…

We study a classical system of identically charged counter-ions near a planar wall carrying a uniform surface charge density. The equilibrium statistical mechanics of the system depends on a single dimensionless coupling parameter. A new…

We present an extension to the Poisson-Boltzmann model where the dipolar features of solvent molecules are taken explicitly into account. The formulation is derived at mean-field level and can be extended to any order in a systematic…

We study the potential and the charge distribution across the interface of a plasma and a dielectric wall. For this purpose, the charge bound to the wall is modelled as a quasi-stationary electron surface layer which satisfies Poisson's…

Most organic and inorganic surfaces (e.g., glass, nucleic acids or lipid membranes) become charged in aqueous solutions. The resulting ionic distribution induces effective interactions between the charged surfaces. Stacks of like-charged…

Screening of a strongly charged macroion by multivalent counterions is considered. It is shown that counterions form a strongly correlated liquid at the surface of the macroion. Cohesive energy of this liquid leads to additional attraction…

Mobile charge in an electrolytic solution can in principle be represented as the divergence of ionic polarization. After adding explicit solvent polarization a finite volume of electrolyte can then be treated as a composite non-uniform…

Quasiparticle (QP) wave functions, also known as Dyson orbitals, extend the concept of single-particle states to interacting electron systems. Here we employ many-body perturbation theory in the GW approximation to calculate the QP wave…

We numerically solve the non-linear Poisson-Boltzmann equation for two cylinders confined by two parallel charged plates. The repulsive electrical double layer component of the cylinder pair potential is substantially reduced by confinement…

Two overall neutral surfaces with positive and negative charged domains ("patches") have been shown in recent experiments to exhibit long-range attraction when immersed in an ionic solution. Motivated by the experiments, we calculate…
