We investigate the individual activity coefficients of pure 1:1 and 2:1 electrolytes using our theory that is based on the competition of ion-ion (II) and ion-water (IW) interactions (Vincze et al., J. Chem. Phys. 133, 154507, 2010). The II…
We investigate the individual activity coefficients of ions in LaCl$_{3}$ using our theory that is based on the competition of ion-ion (II) and ion-water (IW) interactions (Vincze et al., J. Chem. Phys. 133, 154507, 2010). The II term is…
The Debye-H\" uckel formula for ionic activity coefficients is extended for concentrated solutions by solving a simple model of many-body Coulomb correlations and adding the Born solvation energy. Given the bulk permittivity, our formula is…
A self-consistent theory of bulk electrolytes incorporating electrostatic and hard-core interactions on an equal level is applied to the two-dimensional Coulomb liquid with finite ion size. The ionic pair distributions, the structure…
The association of ions in electrolyte solutions at very low concentration and low temperature is studied using computer simulations and quasi-chemical ion-pairing theory. The specific case of the restricted primitive model (charged hard…
In this work, we explore the statistical physics of colloidal particles that interact with electrolytes via ion-specific interactions. Firstly we study particles interact weakly with electrolyte using linear response theory. We find that…
The activity coefficient of ions in solution was proposed by Bjerrum (1916) to depend on the cube root of concentration, because of a good fit with data for low and moderate salt concentration. However, Debye and H\"uckel (DH) later…
Let $z$ be the activity of point particles described by classical equilibrium statistical mechanics in ${\bf R}^\nu$. The correlation functions $\rho^z(x_1,\dots,x_k)$ denote the probability densities of finding $k$ particles at…
Within the framework of a functional integral formalism incorporating ionic charge and hard-core (HC) interactions on an equal footing, we formulate a unified theory of equilibrium thermodynamics and ion association in charged solutions.…
We present a stochastic description of a model of N mutually repelling active spheres in the presence of external fields and characterize its steady state behavior. To reproduce the effects of the experimentally observed persistence of the…
The combinatorial explosion of empirical parameters in tens of thousands presents a tremendous challenge for extended Debye-H\"uckel models to calculate activity coefficients of aqueous mixtures of most important salts in chemistry. The…
New ways to treat electron correlation in electronic structure problems are discussed in the context of many-electron theory. The present work focuses primarily on static correlation. In related work, a method for including dynamical…
A new computational method is presented for study suspensions of charged soft particles undergoing fluctuating hydrodynamic and electrostatic interactions. The proposed model is appropriate for polymers, proteins and porous particles…
We present a continuum theory of electrolytes composed of a waterlike solvent and univalent ions. First, we start with a density functional $\cal F$ for the coarse-grained solvent, cation, and anion densities, including the Debye-H\"uckel…
In this paper, we investigate the consequences of ion association, coupled with the considerations of finite size effects and orientational ordering of Bjerrum pairs as well as ions and water molecules, on electric double layer near charged…
The organization of water molecules and ions between charged mineral surfaces determines the stability of colloidal suspensions and the strength of phase-separated particulate gels. In this article we assemble a density functional that…
We investigate the hydrodynamic properties of a fluid simulated with a mesoscopic solvent model. Two distinct regimes are identified, the `particle regime' in which the dynamics is gas-like, and the `collective regime' where the dynamics is…
A Poisson-Fermi model is proposed for calculating activity coefficients of single ions in strong electrolyte solutions based on the experimental Born radii and hydration shells of ions in aqueous solutions. The steric effect of water…
We developed a new physical model to predict macroscopic properties of inorganic molten systems using a realistic description of inter-atomic interactions. Unlike the conventional approach, which tends to overestimate viscosity by several…
Here we develop a formalism for reversible ionic aggregation kinetics in an example concentrated electrolyte, building on previous equilibrium work of McEldrew and co-workers, and thermoreversible polymers and patchy particle systems. This…
