Computer simulations of the restricted primitive model at very low temperature and density
Chantal Valeriani, Philip J. Camp, Jos W. Zwanikken +2
The problem of successfully simulating ionic fluids at low temperature and low density states is well known in the simulation literature: using conventional methods, the system is…
A Triangular Tessellation Scheme for the Adsorption Free Energy at the Liquid-Liquid Interface: Towards Non-Convex Patterned Colloids
Joost de Graaf, Marjolein Dijkstra, Rene van Roij
We introduce a new numerical technique, namely triangular tessellation, to calculate the free energy associated with the adsorption of a colloidal particle at a flat interface. The…
Poisson-Boltzmann cell model for heterogeneously charged colloids
Eelco Eggen, René van Roij
We introduce the Poisson-Boltzmann cell model for spherical colloidal particles with a heterogeneous surface charge distribution. This model is obtained by generalizing existing ce…
Dynamical Heterogeneities and Cooperative Motion in Smectic Liquid Crystals
A. Patti, D. El Masri, R. van Roij +1
Using simulations of hard rods in smectic-A states, we find non-gaussian diffusion and heterogeneous dynamics due to the equilibrium periodic smectic density profiles, which give r…
Inflation of the screening length induced by Bjerrum pairs
Jos Zwanikken, René van Roij
Within a modified Poisson-Boltzmann theory we study the effect of Bjerrum pairs on the typical length scale over which electric fields are screened in electrolyte solutio…
Screening of heterogeneous surfaces: charge renormalization of Janus particles
N. Boon, E. Carvajal Gallardo, S. Zheng +3
Nonlinear ionic screening theory for heterogeneously charged spheres is developed in terms of a mode-decomposition of the surface charge. A far-field analysis of the resulting elec…
