Statics and Dynamics of Strongly Charged Soft Matter
H. Boroudjerdi, Y. -W. Kim, A. Naji +3
Soft matter materials, such as polymers, membranes, proteins, are often electrically charged. This makes them water soluble, which is of great importance in technological applicati…
Theoretical Approaches to Neutral and Charged Polymer Brushes
Ali Naji, Christian Seidel, Roland R. Netz
Neutral or charged polymers that are densely end-grafted to surfaces form brush-like structures and are highly stretched under good-solvent conditions. We discuss and compare relev…
Scaling and Universality in the Counterion-Condensation Transition at Charged Cylinders
Ali Naji, Roland R. Netz
We address the critical and universal aspects of counterion-condensation transition at a single charged cylinder in both two and three spatial dimensions using numerical and analyt…
Electrostatic Interactions in Strongly-Coupled Soft Matter
Ali Naji, Swetlana Jungblut, Andre G. Moreira +1
Charged soft-matter systems--such as colloidal dispersions and charged polymers--are dominated by attractive forces between constituent like-charged particles when neutralizing cou…
Quenched Charge Disorder and Coulomb Interactions
Ali Naji, Rudolf Podgornik
We develop a general formalism to investigate the effect of quenched fixed charge disorder on effective electrostatic interactions between charged surfaces in a one-component (coun…
Counterions at Charged Cylinders: Criticality and universality beyond mean-field
Ali Naji, Roland R. Netz
The counterion-condensation transition at charged cylinders is studied using Monte-Carlo simulation methods. Employing logarithmically rescaled radial coordinates, large system siz…
