Interparticle Interactions in Nonlocal Media: Attraction and Repulsion from Charge-Polarization Coupling
Ali Behjatian, Madhavi Krishnan
Recent measurements of microsphere interactions in diverse media suggest that the standard dielectric-continuum models of solution-phase interactions are fundamentally incomplete.…

Surface polarization strongly influences electrostatics in a nonlocal medium
Ali Behjatian, Ralf Blossey, Madhavi Krishnan
Electrostatics in the solution phase is governed by free electrical charges such as ions, as well as by bound charges that arise when a polarizable medium responds to an applied fi…
