Polarisation-mediated underscreening from weakly bonded ion clusters
David Ribar, Jake W. Felber, Clifford E. Woodward +1
We explore the hypothesis that ions form loosely connected clusters at high ionic strength in aqueous solutions, and that these clusters have relevance to the experimentally observ…
A Boosted Energy Extraction from the CapMix Process by Grafting with Titratable Polymers
Mamta Yadav, Clifford E. Woodward, Jan Forsman
Salinity gradient energy offers a sustainable route to convert ionic chemical potential differences into usable power. Capacitive mixing enables this conversion without membranes,…
Improved Desalination by Polymer Grafting
Mamta Yadav, Clifford E. Woodward, Jan Forsman
Freshwater scarcity demands desalination technologies that are efficient, scalable, and sustainable. Capacitive deionisation (CDI) is promising but remains limited by inefficient i…
Classical density functional treatment of polydisperse polarisable clusters
Clifford E. Woodward, David Ribar, Jan Forsman
Ion clustering has been proposed as a mechanism leading to the peculiar 'anomalous underscreening' phenomenon seen for electrostatic interactions between charge surfaces immersed i…
Polyampholyte model of ion clusters: double-layer interactions in the presence of dissociated simple salt
David Ribar, Clifford E Woodward, Jan Forsman
We explore interactions between equally charged surfaces, in the presence of simple salt and either neutral or monovalently charged polyampholytes. We consider the possibility of u…
Exceptionally strong double-layer barriers generated by polyampholyte salt
David Ribar, Clifford E. Woodward, Jan Forsman
Experiments using the Surface Force Apparatus (SFA) have found anomalously long-ranged interactions between charged surfaces in concentrated salt solutions. Ion clustering have bee…
On the Existence of Prewetting in Supracritical Fluid Mixtures
Jan Forsman, Clifford E. Woodward
In this communication we demonstrate the existence of a first-order prewetting transition of a supracritical model polymer solution adjacent to an attractive surface. The model flu…
Solvent-induced ion clusters generate long-ranged double-layer forces at high ionic strengths
David Ribar, Clifford E. Woodward, Jan Forsman
Recent experimental results by the Surface Force Apparatus (SFA) have identified a dramatic deviation from previously established theories of simple electrolytes. This deviation, r…
Cluster Formation induced by local dielectric saturation in Restricted Primitive Model Electrolytes
David Ribar, Clifford E. Woodward, Sture Nordholm +1
Experiments using the Surface Force Apparatus (SFA) have found anomalously long ranged charge-charge underscreening in concentrated salt solutions. Meanwhile, theory and simulation…
Effect of excess charge carriers and fluid medium on the magnitude and the sign of the Casimir-Lifshitz torque
P. Thiyam, Prachi Parashar, K. V. Shajesh +6
Last year, we reported a perturbative theory of the Casimir-Lifshitz torque between planar biaxially anisotropic materials in the retarded limit [Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 120}, 131601…
Perspective: Coulomb fluids -- weak coupling, strong coupling, in between and beyond
Ali Naji, Matej Kanduč, Jan Forsman +1
We present a personal view on the current state of statistical mechanics of Coulomb fluids with special emphasis on the interactions between macromolecular surfaces, concentrating…
Attraction between Neutral Dielectrics Mediated by Multivalent Ions in an Asymmetric Ionic Fluid
Matej Kanduc, Ali Naji, Jan Forsman +1
We study the interaction between two neutral plane-parallel dielectric bodies in the presence of a highly asymmetric ionic fluid, containing multivalent as well as monovalent (salt…
Dressed Counterions: Poly- and monovalent ions at charged dielectric interfaces
Matej Kanduc, Ali Naji, Jan Forsman +1
We investigate the ion distribution and overcharging at charged interfaces with dielectric inhomogeneities in the presence of asymmetric electrolytes containing polyvalent and mono…
Dressed Counterions: Strong Electrostatic Coupling in the Presence of Salt
Matej Kanduc, Ali Naji, Jan Forsman +1
We reformulate the theory of strong electrostatic coupling in order to describe an asymmetric electrolyte solution of monovalent salt ions and polyvalent counterions using field-th…
Weak and Strong-Coupling Electrostatic Interactions between Asymmetrically Charged Planar Surfaces
M. Kanduc, M. Trulsson, A. Naji +3
We compare weak and strong coupling theory of counterion-mediated electrostatic interactions between two asymmetrically charged plates with extensive Monte-Carlo simulations. Analy…
