Electroneutrality breakdown in nanopore arrays

J. Pedro de Souza, Amir Levy, Martin Z. Bazant

The electrostatic screening of charge in one-dimensional confinement leads to long-range breakdown in electroneutrality within a nanopore. Through a series of continuum simulations…

Ionic activity in concentrated electrolytes: solvent structure effect revisited

Amir Levy, Martin Z. Bazant, Alexei A. Kornyshev

We revisit the role of the local solvent structure on the activity coefficient of electrolytes with a general non-local dielectric function approach. We treat the concentrated elec…

Spin-Glass Charge Ordering in Ionic Liquids

Amir Levy, Michael McEldrew, Martin Z. Bazant

Ionic liquids form intricate microstructures, both in the bulk and near charged surfaces. In this Letter, we show that, given the ionic positions from molecular simulations, the io…

Dielectric Constant of Ionic Solutions: Combined Effects of Correlations and Excluded Volume

Ram M. Adar, Tomer Markovich, Amir Levy +2

The dielectric constant of ionic solutions is known to reduce with increasing ionic concentrations. However, the origin of this effect has not been thoroughly explored. In this pap…

Quantum Čerenkov Radiation: Spectral Cutoffs and the Role of Spin and Orbital Angular Momentum

Ido Kaminer, Maor Mutzafi, Amir Levy +7

We show that the well-known Čerenkov Effect contains new phenomena arising from the quantum nature of charged particles. The Čerenkov transition amplitudes allow coupling between t…
