Electrostatic self-energy of a partially formed spherical shell in salt solution: application to stability of tethered and fluid shells -- viruses and vesicles
Anze Losdorfer Bozic, Antonio Siber, Rudolf Podgornik
We investigate the electrostatics of a partially formed, charged spherical shell in a salt solution. We solve the problem numerically at the Poisson-Boltzmann level and analyticall…
Sample-to-sample fluctuations of electrostatic forces generated by quenched charge disorder
David S. Dean, Ali Naji, Rudolf Podgornik
It has been recently shown that randomly charged surfaces can exhibit long range electrostatic interactions even when they are net neutral. These forces depend on the specific real…
Non-monotoic fluctuation-induced interactions between dielectric slabs carrying charge disorder
Jalal Sarabadani, Ali Naji, David S. Dean +2
We investigate the effect of monopolar charge disorder on the classical fluctuation-induced interactions between randomly charged net-neutral dielectric slabs and discuss various g…
Exotic Electrostatics: Unusual Features of Electrostatic Interactions between Macroions
Ali Naji, Matej Kanduc, Roland R. Netz +1
We present an overview of our understanding of electrostatic interactions between charged macromolecular surfaces mediated by mobile counter- and coions. The dichotomy between the…
Confined polymer nematics: order and packing in a nematic drop
Daniel Svenšek, Gregor Veble, Rudolf Podgornik
We investigate the tight packing of nematic polymers inside a confining hard sphere. We model the polymer {\sl via} the continuum Frank elastic free energy augmented by a simple de…
Counterion-Mediated Weak and Strong Coupling Electrostatic Interaction between Like-Charged Cylindrical Dielectrics
Matej Kanduc, Ali Naji, Rudolf Podgornik
We examine the effective counterion-mediated electrostatic interaction between two like-charged dielectric cylinders immersed in a continuous dielectric medium containing neutraliz…
