We investigate the effective interaction between two like-charged rods in the regime of large electrostatic coupling parameters using both Molecular Dynamics simulation techniques and the recently introduced strong-coupling theory. We…
The bare Coulomb interaction between two like-charges is repulsive. When these charges are immersed in an electrolyte, the thermal fluctuations of the ions turn the bare Coulomb interaction into an effective interaction between the two…
It is general wisdom that likely charged colloidal particles repel each other when suspended in liquids. This is in perfect agreement with mean field theories being developed more than 60 years ago. Accordingly, it was a big surprise when…
We make some comments about the results we obtained in Phys. Rev. Lett. 86,3392(2001), and in Phys. Rev. Lett.87, 177206 (2001), and show that the conclusion of a recent paper [cond-mat/0409495] leveling some criticism on our results is, in…
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…
We study the thermodynamic properties of a simple model for the possible mechanism of attraction between like charged rodlike polyions inside a polyelectrolyte solution. We consider two polyions in parallel planes, with $Z$ charges each, in…
The existence of attractions between like-charged colloids immersed in ionic solution have been discovered in recent experiments. This phenomenon contradicts the predictions of DLVO theory and indicates a failure of mean field theory. We…
The interface temperature of two rods with equal cross section joined at one end and with different initial temperatures, initially always acquires the value characteristic for two semi-infinite rods. This value, which is shown to be a…
We determine exactly the short-distance effective potential between two "guest" charges immersed in a two-dimensional two-component charge-asymmetric plasma composed of positively ($q_1 = +1$) and negatively ($q_2 = -1/2$) charged point…
We present a simple model for the possible mechanism of appearance of attraction between like charged polyions inside a polyelectrolyte solution. The attraction is found to be short ranged, and exists only in presence of multivalent…
Recently, a temperature-sensitive long-range attraction colloidal system exhibiting melting and pre-melting of colloidal crystals has been reported by Li et al.[1]. If it is true, it would be an ideal system to simulate a board range of…
We have calculated the electrostatic interaction between two rod-like charged objects with arbitrary orientations in three dimensions. we obtained a closed form formula expressing the interaction energy in terms of the separation distance…
The nature of electrostatic interaction between like-charged particles at water-air interface is analyzed in this paper. We show that long-ranged electrostatic dipolar attraction between these objects generally exists. Our result provides a…
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 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…
At low temperature, spheres with a very short-ranged attraction exist as a close-packed solid coexisting with an infinitely dilute gas. We find that the ratio of the interfacial tension between these two phases to the thermal energy…
Over the past few decades the experimental literature has consistently reported observations of attraction between like-charged colloidal particles and macromolecules in solution. Examples include nucleic acids and colloidal particles in…
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…
Monte Carlo simulations were employed to study two charged rods confined between two unlike charged plates, all immersed in a model electrolyte. Recently, it was shown that two rods immersed in a multivalent counterion solution may show…
We study the interaction potential between two polyions inside a colloidal suspension. It is shown that at large separation the interaction potential is purely repulsive, with the induced attractive interactions being doubly screened. For…
