Although for the most part classical, the topic of electrostatics finds to this day new applications. In this review we highlight several theoretical results on electrostatics, chosen to both illustrate general principles, and for their…
Generalizing the classical Thomson problem to the quantum regime provides an ideal model to explore the underlying physics regarding electron correlations. In this work, we systematically investigate the combined effects of the geometry of…
The parametric equations of the plane curves determining the equilibrium shapes that a uniform inextensible elastic ring or tube could take subject to a uniform hydrostatic pressure are presented in an explicit analytic form. The…
Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) normally have fixed or moving structures (plates or array of thin beams) with cross-sections of the order of microns and lengths of the order of tens or hundreds of microns. Electrostatic forces play…
We theoretically study electrostatic properties of electric double layer using a generalized Poisson-Boltzmann approach taking into account the orientational ordering of water dipoles and the excluded volume effect of water molecules as…
Evaluating the total energy of an extended distribution of point charges, which interact through the Coulomb potential, is central to the study of condensed matter. With near ubiquity, the summation required is carried out using Ewald's…
We develop an exact electrostatic formulation for a finite-length conducting cylindrical shell of finite thickness separating two dielectric media with arbitrary permittivity contrast. The boundary-value problem is reduced to a coupled…
We present a general scheme for finding the exact eigenstates of two electrons, with on-site repulsive potentials U_i, on I impurities in a macroscopic crystal. The model describes impurities in doped semiconductors and artificial molecules…
Structural and static properties of a classical two-dimensional (2D) system consisting of a finite number of charged particles which are laterally confined by a parabolic potential are investigated by Monte Carlo (MC) simulations and the…
Continuum solvation methods can provide an accurate and inexpensive embedding of quantum simulations in liquid or complex dielectric environments. Notwithstanding a long history and manifold applications to isolated systems in open boundary…
We study the ground state properties of rectangular quantum dots by using the spin-density-functional theory and quantum Monte Carlo methods. The dot geometry is determined by an infinite hard-wall potential to enable comparison to…
Electrostatic structures have been observed in many regions of space plasmas, including the solar wind, the magnetosphere, the auroral acceleration region, and in association with shocks, turbulence, and magnetic reconnection. Due to…
We analyze the electronic structure of atoms in the first, second and third periods using the electronic kinetic energy density and stress tensor density, which are local quantities motivated by quantum field theoretic consideration,…
A direct numerical simulation of the three-dimensional elektrokinetic instability near a charge selective surface (electric membrane, electrode, or system of micro-/nanochannels) is carried out and analyzed. A special finite-difference…
Analytic approximations to the ground-state energy of closed-shell quantum dots (number of electrons from 2 to 210) are presented in the form of two-point Pade approximants. These Pade approximants are constructed from the small- and…
State-specific approximations can provide an accurate representation of challenging electronic excitations by enabling relaxation of the electron density. While state-specific wave functions are known to be local minima or saddle points of…
Long-ranged electrostatic interactions in electrolytes modify their contact angles on charged substrates in a scale and geometry dependent manner. For angles measured at scales smaller than the typical Debye screening length, the wetting…
(Abridged) We develop an analytical spectral method to solve the equations of equilibrium for a self-gravitating, magnetized fluid body, under the only hypotheses that (a) the equation of state is isothermal, (b) the configuration is…
We consider two-dimensional (2D) "artificial atoms" confined by an axially symmetric potential $V(\rho)$. Such configurations arise in circular quantum dots and other systems effectively restricted to a 2D layer. Using the semiclassical…
The flow of an electrified liquid film down an inclined plane wall is investigated with the focus on coherent structures in the form of travelling waves on the film surface, in particular, single-hump solitary pulses and their interactions.…
