Differential capacitance of ionic liquids according to lattice-gas mean-field model with nearest-neighbor interactions
Rachel Downing, Bjorn K. Berntson, Guilherme V. Bossa +1
The Bragg-Williams free energy is used to incorporate nearest-neighbor interactions into the lattice gas model of a solvent-free ionic liquid near a planar electrode. We calculate…

Debye-Hückel Theory of Weakly Curved Macroions: Implementing Ion Specificity through a Composite Coloumb-Yukawa Interaction Potential
Bjorn K. Berntson, Rachel Downing, Guilherme Volpe Bossa +1
The free energy of a weakly curved, isolated macroion embedded in a symmetric 1:1 electrolyte solution is calculated on the basis of linear Debye-Hückel theory, thereby accounting…

Curvature Elasticity of the Electric Double Layer
Guilherme Volpe Bossa, Bjorn K. Berntson, Sylvio May
Mean-field electrostatics is used to calculate the bending moduli of an electric double layer for fixed surface charge density of a macroion in a symmetric 1:1 electrolyte. The res…
