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…
Microscopic Details of a Fluid/Thin Film Triple Line
Timothy Twohig, Sylvio May, Andrew B. Croll
In recent years, there has been a considerable interest in the mechanics of soft objects meeting fluid interfaces (elasto-capillary interactions). In this work we experimentally ex…
Electrostatic interactions across a charged lipid bilayer
Alexander J. Wagner, Sylvio May
We present theoretical work in which the degree of electrostatic coupling across a charged lipid bilayer in aqueous solution is analyzed on the basis of nonlinear Poisson-Boltzmann…
The fraction of condensed counterions around a charged rod: Comparison of Poisson-Boltzmann theory and computer simulations
Markus Deserno, Christian Holm, Sylvio May
We investigate the phenomenon of counterion condensation in a solution of highly charged rigid polyelectrolytes within the cell model. A method is proposed which -- based on the ch…
