The effects of ionic valency and size asymmetry on counterion adsorption
Or Ben Yaakov, Haim Diamant, Rudolf Podgornik +1
We study the effect of asymmetry in solvent and ionic size on the equilibrium properties of multivalent ionic solutions near a charged surface. For a single ionic species in soluti…
Interplay between finite thickness and chirality effects on the Casimir-Lifshitz torque with nematic cholesteric liquid crystals
Wijnand Broer, Rudolf Podgornik
We theoretically investigate the combined effects of the chirality and the finite total thickness of nematic cholesteric liquid crystals on the Casimir-Lifshitz torque. We find tha…
Continuum theories of structured dielectrics
Ralf Blossey, Rudolf Podgornik
Aequous dielectrics are ubiquitous in soft- and bio-nano matter systems. The theoretical description of such systems in terms of continuum (`macroscopic') theory remains a serious…
Field theory of structured liquid dielectrics
Ralf Blossey, Rudolf Podgornik
We develop of a field-theoretic approach for the treatment of both the non-local and the non-linear response of structured liquid dielectrics. Our systems of interest are composed…
Path integrals for higher derivative actions
David S. Dean, Bing Miao, Rudi Podgornik
We consider Euclidean path integrals with higher derivative actions, including those that depend quadratically on acceleration, velocity and position. Such path integrals arise nat…
Complex Fluids with Mobile Charge-Regulated Macro-Ions
Tomer Markovich, David Andelman, Rudi Podgornik
We generalize the concept of charge regulation of ionic solutions, and apply it to complex fluids with mobile macro-ions having internal non-electrostatic degrees of freedom. The s…
