The one-component plasma: a conceptual approach
M. N. Tamashiro, Yan Levin, Marcia C. Barbosa
The one-component plasma (OCP) represents the simplest statistical mechanical model of a Coulomb system. For this reason, it has been extensively studied over the last forty years.…
Polyelectrolyte Solutions with Multivalent Salts
Paulo S. Kuhn, Yan Levin, Marcia C. Barbosa
We investigate the thermodynamic properties of a polyelectrolyte solution in a presence of {\it multivalent} salts. The polyions are modeled as rigid cylinders with the charge dist…
Complex Formation Between Polyelectrolytes and Ionic Surfactants
Paulo S. Kuhn, Yan Levin, Marcia C. Barbosa
The interaction between polyelectrolyte and ionic surfactant is of great importance in different areas of chemistry and biology. In this paper we present a theory of polyelectrolyt…
Rod-like Polyelectrolytes in Presence of Monovalent Salt
Paulo S. Kuhn, Yan Levin, Marcia C. Barbosa
We investigate the properties of rigid polyelectrolyte solutions in presence of monovalent salt. The free energy within the Debye-Hückel-Bjerrum (DHBj) theory [M. E. Fisher and Y.…
Debye-Hueckel-Bjerrum theory for charged colloids
M. N. Tamashiro, Yan Levin, Marcia C. Barbosa
We formulate an extension of the Debye-Hueckel-Bjerrum theory [M. E. Fisher and Y. Levin, Phys. Rev. Lett. 71, 3826 (1993)] to the fluid state of a highly asymmetric charged colloi…
