On the regimes of charge reversal
arXiv:cond-mat/0309446 · doi:10.1063/1.2911923
Abstract
Charge reversal of the planar electrical double layer is studied by means of a well known integral equations theory. By a numerical analysis, a diagram is constructed with the onset points of charge reversal in the space of the fundamental variables of the system. Within this diagram two regimes of charge reversal are identified, referred to as oscillatory and non oscillatory. We found that these two regimes can be distinguished through a simple formula. Furthermore, a symmetry between electrostatic and size correlations in charge reversal is exhibited. The agreement of our results with other theories and molecular simulations data is discussed.
