Interaction of Charged Colloidal Particles at the Air-Water Interface
Matheus Girotto, Alexandre P. dos Santos, Yan Levin
We study, using Monte Carlo simulations, the interaction between charged colloidal particles confined to the air-water interface. The dependence of force on ionic strength and coun…
Simulations of Coulomb systems with slab geometry using an efficient 3d Ewald summation method
Alexandre P. dos Santos, Matheus Girotto, Yan Levin
We present a new approach to efficiently simulate electrolytes confined between infinite charged walls using a 3d Ewald summation method. The optimal performance is achieved by sep…
Simulations of Polyelectrolyte Adsorption to a Dielectric Like-Charged Surface
Alexandre P. dos Santos, Matheus Girotto, Yan Levin
We explore, using the recently developed efficient Monte Carlo simulation method, the interaction of an anionic polyelectrolyte solution with a like-charged dielectric surface. In…
Lattice Model of an Ionic Liquid at an Electrified Interface
Matheus Girotto, Thiago Colla, Alexandre P. dos Santos +1
We study ionic liquids interacting with electrified interfaces. The ionic fluid is modeled as a Coulomb lattice gas. We compare the ionic density profiles calculated using a popula…

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…
Yukawa particles in a confining potential
Matheus Girotto, Alexandre P. dos Santos, Thiago Colla +1
We study the density distribution of repulsive Yukawa particles confined by an external potential. In the weak coupling limit, we show that the mean-field theory is able to accurat…
Vortex distribution in a confining potential
Yan Levin, Matheus Girotto, Alexandre Pereira dos Santos
We study a model of interacting vortices in a type II superconductor. In the weak coupling limit, we constructed a mean-field theory which allows us to accurately calculate the vor…
