Hall conductance of dilute electrolytes from odd stochastic density functional theory

Yael Avni, Michel Fruchart, David Martin +2

Electrolytes under an external magnetic field exhibit a Hall conductivity, much like metals and semiconductors. However, existing theories fail to quantitatively account for their…

Odd stochastic density functional theory

Yael Avni, Michel Fruchart, David Martin +2

Stochastic density functional theory (SDFT) provides a powerful framework for studying the dynamics of many-body systems both in and out of equilibrium. In its standard form, it ca…

When is nonreciprocity relevant?

Giulia Garcia Lorenzana, David Martin, Yael Avni +4

Nonreciprocal interactions are widely observed in nonequilibrium systems, from biological or sociological dynamics to open quantum systems. Despite the ubiquity of nonreciprocity,…

Dynamical phase transitions in the nonreciprocal Ising model

Yael Avni, Michel Fruchart, David Martin +2

Nonreciprocal interactions in many-body systems lead to time-dependent states, commonly observed in biological, chemical, and ecological systems. The stability of these states in t…

Frequency-Dependent Conductivity of Concentrated Electrolytes: A Stochastic Density Functional Theory

Haggai Bonneau, Yael Avni, David Andelman +1

The response of ionic solutions to time-varying electric fields, quantified by a frequency-dependent conductivity, is essential in many electrochemical applications. Yet, it consti…

Sociohydrodynamics: data-driven modelling of social behavior

Daniel S. Seara, Jonathan Colen, Michel Fruchart +3

Living systems display complex behaviors driven by physical forces as well as decision-making. Hydrodynamic theories hold promise for simplified universal descriptions of socially-…

Nonreciprocal Ising model

Yael Avni, Michel Fruchart, David Martin +2

Systems with nonreciprocal interactions generically display time-dependent states. These are routinely observed in finite systems, from neuroscience to active matter, in which glob…

The transition to collective motion in nonreciprocal active matter: coarse graining agent-based models into fluctuating hydrodynamics

David Martin, Daniel Seara, Yael Avni +2

Two hallmarks of non-equilibrium systems, from active colloids to animal herds, are agents motility and nonreciprocal interactions. Their interplay creates feedback loops leading t…

Charge Regulation of Polyelectrolyte Gels: Swelling Transition

Bin Zheng, Yael Avni, David Andelman +1

We study the effects of charge-regulated acid/base equilibrium on the swelling of polyelectrolyte gels, by considering a combination of the Poisson-Boltzmann theory and a two-site…

Conductance of concentrated electrolytes: multivalency and the Wien effect

Yael Avni, David Andelman, Henri Orland

The electric conductivity of ionic solutions is well understood at low ionic concentrations of up to a few millimolar but becomes difficult to unravel at higher concentrations that…

Conductivity of Concentrated Electrolytes

Yael Avni, Ram M. Adar, David Andelman +1

The conductivity of ionic solutions is arguably their most important trait, being widely used in electrochemical, biochemical, and environmental applications. The Debye-Hückel-Onsa…

Phase Separation of Polyelectrolytes: The Effect of Charge Regulation

Bin Zheng, Yael Avni, David Andelman +1

Complex coacervation, known as the liquid-liquid phase separation of solutions with oppositely charged polyelectrolytes, has attracted substantial interest in recent years. We stud…

Brownian motion of a charged colloid in restricted confinement

Y. Avni, S. Komura, D. Andelman

We study the Brownian motion of a charged colloid, confined between two charged walls, for small separation between the colloid and the walls. The system is embedded in an ionic so…

Critical behavior of charge-regulated macro-ions

Yael Avni, Rudolf Podgornik, David Andelman

Based on a collective description of electrolytes composed of charge-regulated macro-ions and simple salt ions, we analyze their equilibrium charge state in the bulk and their beha…

Charge Oscillations in Ionic Liquids: A Microscopic Cluster Model

Yael Avni, Ram M. Adar, David Andelman

In spite of their enormous applications as alternative energy storage devices and lubricants, room temperature ionic liquids (ILs) still pose many challenges from a pure scientific…

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…

Planet seeding through gas-assisted capture of interstellar objects

Evgeni Grishin, Hagai B. Perets, Yael Avni

Planet formation begins with collisional growth of small planetesimals accumulating into larger ones. Such growth occurs while planetesimals are embedded in a gaseous protoplanetar…

Charge Regulating Macro-ions in Salt Solutions: Screening Properties and Electrostatic Interactions

Yael Avni, David Andelman, Tomer Markovich +1

We revisit the charge-regulation mechanism of macro-ions and apply it to mobile macro-ions in a bathing salt solution. In particular, we examine the effects of correlation between…

Casimir self-stress in a dielectric sphere

Yael Avni, Ulf Leonhardt

The dielectric sphere has been an important test case for understanding and calculating the vacuum force of a dielectric body onto itself. Here we develop a method for computing th…
