Like-Charge Attraction between Metal Nanoparticles in a 1:1 Electrolyte Solution
Alexandre P. dos Santos, Yan Levin
We calculate the force between two spherical metal nanoparticles of charge Q 1 and Q 2 in a dilute 1:1 electrolyte solution. Numerically solving the non-linear Poisson-Boltzmann eq…
Adsorption isotherms of charged nanoparticles
Alexandre P. dos Santos, Amin Bakhshandeh, Alexandre Diehl +1
We present theory and simulations which allow us to quantitatively calculate the amount of surface adsorption excess of charged nanoparticles onto a charged surface. The theory is…
Ionic Size Effects on the Poisson-Boltzmann Theory
Thiago Colla, Lucas Nunes Lopes, Alexandre P. dos Santos
In this paper we develop a simple theory to study the effects of ionic size on ionic distributions around a charged spherical particle. We include a correction to the regular Poiss…
Charge neutrality breakdown in confined aqueous electrolytes: theory and simulation
Thiago Colla, Matheus Girotto, Alexandre P. dos Santos +1
We study, using Density Functional theory and Monte Carlo simulations, aqueous electrolyte solutions between charged infinite planar surfaces, in a contact with a bulk salt reservo…
Reply to 'Comment on "Vortex distribution in a confining potential"
Matheus Girotto, Alexandre P. dos Santos, Renato Pakter +1
We argue that contrary to recent suggestions, non-extensive statistical mechanics has no relevance for inhomogeneous systems of particles interacting by short-range potentials. We…
Adsorption of cationic polyions to a hydrophobic surface in the presence of Hofmeister salts
Alexandre P. dos Santos, Yan Levin
We study, using extensive Monte Carlos simulations, the behavior of cationic polyelectrolytes near hydrophobic surfaces in solutions containing Hofmeister salts. The Hofmeister ani…
