Recent studies have utilized AC fields and electrochemical reactions in multicomponent electrolyte solutions to control colloidal assembly. However, theoretical investigations have thus far been limited to binary electrolytes and have…

Long-ranged attractions across water between two surfaces that are randomly covered with (mobile) positive and negative charge domains have been attributed to induced correlation of the charges (positive lining up with negative) as the…

We demonstrate that the driving forces for ion adsorption to the air-water interface for point charge models results from both cavitation and a term that is of the form of a negative electrochemical surface potential. We carefully…

By a length scale analysis, we study the equilibrium interactions between two like-charge planes confining neutralising counter-ions. At large Coulombic couplings, approaching the two charged bodies leads to an unbinding of counter-ions, a…

In this work, we report an interesting observation of partial ionic bonding due to charge transfer in homogeneous sodium clusters. The charge transfer causes the electronic charge to accumulate on the surface, and the resulting charges on…

Electrostatic interaction is the driving force for the encapsulation by virus coat proteins of nanoparticles such as quantum dots, gold particles and magnetic beads for, e.g., imaging and therapeutic purposes. In recent experimental work,…

The electrostatic contribution to twist rigidity of DNA is studied, and it is shown that the Coulomb self-energy of the double-helical sugar-phosphate backbone contributes considerably to twist rigidity of DNA--the electrostatic twist…

The elaboration of multimodal nanoparticles stimulates tremendous interest owing to their numerous potentialities in many applicative fields like optoelectronics, photonics and especially bioimaging. The concomitant association of various…

We investigate the system constituted by a polarizable atom near a nanosphere under the influence of an external electrostatic field, showing that the attractive dispersive force between them can be overcome by the electrostatic…

We consider the electrostatic interaction between two rigid membranes, with different surface charge densities of opposite sign, across an aqueous solution without added salt. Exact solutions to the nonlinear Poisson-Boltzmann equation are…

The behavior of polyelectrolytes between charged surfaces immersed in semi-dilute solutions is investigated theoretically. A continuum mean field approach is used for calculating numerically concentration profiles between two electrodes…

We investigate the kinetics of $A+B \to 0$ reaction with the local attractive interaction between opposite species in one spatial dimension. The attractive interaction leads to isotropic diffusions inside segregated single species domains,…

A new kinetic instability which results in formation of charge density waves is proposed. The instability is of a purely classical nature. A spatial period of arising space-charge and field configuration is inversely proportional to…

Electrostatically charged aerosol nanoparticles strongly attract surrounding polar gas molecules due to a charge-dipole interaction. In humid air, the substantial electrostatic attraction and acceleration of surrounding water vapour…

We use Molecular Dynamics simulations to study attractive interactions and the underlying ionic correlations between parallel like-charged rods in the absence of additional salt. For a generic bulk system of rods we identify a reduction of…

A model system of highly asymmetric polyelectrolyte with directional short-range attractive interactions was studied by canonical Monte Carlo computer simulations. Comparison of MC data with previously published theoretical results shows…

Assuming the charged particle to be a two-dimensional oscillator that scatters the classical background of zero-point field one can deduce the Coulomb force of the two interacting particles. The correct deduction of the force is conditioned…

We describe arrangements of ions capable of producing short-range attractive interactions between pairs of charged colloidal spheres in the low temperature strongly correlated limit. For particles of radius $R$ with bare charge $Z$ and…

Electrostatic forces play many important roles in molecular biology, but are hard to model due to the complicated interactions between biomolecules and the surrounding solvent, a fluid composed of water and dissolved ions. Continuum model…

A positively charged, mixed bilayer vesicle in the presence of negatively charged surfaces (for example, colloidal particles) can spontaneously partition into an adhesion zone of definite area, and another zone that repels additional…
