Density--nematic coupling in isotropic linear polymers
Aleksandar Popadić, Daniel Svenšek, Rudolf Podgornik +1
Linear polymers and other connected "line liquids" exhibit a coupling between density and equilibrium nematic order on the macroscopic level that gives rise to a Meyer-de Gennes ve…
Pseudo-Casimir interactions and surface anchoring duality in bookshelf geometry of smectic-A liquid crystals
Fahimeh Karimi Pour Haddadan, Ali Naji, Rudolf Podgornik
We analyze the transverse intersubstrate pseudo-Casimir force, arising as a result of thermal fluctuations of the liquid crystalline layers of a smectic-A film confined between two…
On the voltage-controlled assembly of NP arrays at electrochemical solid/liquid interfaces
Cristian Zagar, Ryan-Rys Griffith, Rudolf Podgornik +1
Research in the field of nanoplasmonic metamaterials is moving towards more and more interesting and, potentially useful, applications. The present work tackles the problem of nano…
Charge Regulation with Fixed and Mobile Charges
Yael Avni, David Andelman, Rudolf Podgornik
Uncompensated charges do not occur in Nature and any local charge should be a result of charge separation. Dissociable chemical groups at interfaces in contact with ions in solutio…
Role of metallic core for the stability of virus-like particles in strongly coupled electrostatics
Leili Javidpour, Anže Lošdorfer Božič, Rudolf Podgornik +1
We investigate the osmotic (electrostatic) pressure acting on the proteinaceous shell of a generic model of virus-like particles (VLPs), comprising a charged outer shell and a meta…
General theory of charge regulation and surface capacitance
Rudolf Podgornik
A generalization of the mean-field approach will be derived that will take into account the ion-ion as well as ion-surface non-electrostatic effects on an equal footing, being base…
