Attraction Between Like-Charged Walls: Short-Ranged Simulations Using Local Molecular Field Theory
arXiv:cond-mat/0607449 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.97.097801
Abstract
Effective attraction between like-charged walls mediated by counterions is studied using local molecular field (LMF) theory. Monte Carlo simulations of the "mimic system'' given by LMF theory, with short-ranged "Coulomb core" interactions in an effective single particle potential incorporating a mean-field average of the long-ranged Coulomb interactions, provide a direct test of the theory, and are in excellent agreement with more complex simulations of the full Coulomb system by Moreira and Netz [Eur. Phys. J. E 8, 33 (2002)]. A simple, generally-applicable criterion to determine the consistency parameter sigma_{min} needed for accurate use of the LMF theory is presented.
