Mediation of Long-Range Attraction Selectively between Negatively-Charged Colloids on Surfaces by Solvation
William Kung, Monica Olvera de la Cruz
We propose a mean-field analytical model to account for the observed asymmetry in the ability to form long-range attraction by the negatively charged colloidal particles and not th…
Ion condensation on charged patterned surfaces
Yuri S. Velichko, Francisco J. Solis, Sharon M. Loverde +1
We study ion condensation onto a patterned surface of alternating charges. The competition between self-energy and ion-surface interactions leads to the formation of ionic crystall…
Charged Particles on Surfaces: Coexistence of Dilute Phases and Periodic Structures on Membranes
Sharon M. Loverde, Francisco Solis, Monica Olvera de la Cruz
We consider a mixture of one neutral and two oppositely charged types of molecules confined to a surface. Using analytical techniques and molecular dynamics simulations, we constru…
Competing interactions in two dimensional Coulomb systems: Surface charge heterogeneities in co-assembled cationic-anionic incompatible mixtures
Sharon M. Loverde, Yury S. Velichko, Monica Olvera de la Cruz
A binary mixture of oppositely charged components confined to a plane such as cationic and anionic lipid bilayers may exhibit local segregation. The relative strength of the net sh…
Polyelectrolytes in the presence of multivalent ions: gelation versus segregation
A. V. Ermoshkin, M. Olvera de la Cruz
We analyze solutions of strongly charged chains bridged by linkers such as multivalent ions. The gelation induced by the strong short range electrostatic attractions is dramaticall…
