Image Effects on the Transport of Intense Nonaxisymmetric Charged Beams
Renato Pakter, Yan Levin, Felipe B. Rizzato
The effect of conducting pipes on the equilibrium of intense nonaxisymmetric continuous beams of charged particles is investigated. For a cylindrical pipe and an elliptical beam, w…
Collisionless relaxation in non-neutral plasmas
Yan Levin, Renato Pakter, Tarcisio N. Teles
A theoretical framework is presented which allows to quantitatively predict the final stationary state achieved by a non-neutral plasma during a process of collisionless relaxation…
Wave breaking and particle jets in intense inhomogeneous charged beams
Felipe B. Rizzato, Renato Pakter, Yan Levin
This work analyzes the dynamics of inhomogeneous, magnetically focused high-intensity beams of charged particles. While for homogeneous beams the whole system oscillates with a sin…
Amphiphile Adsorption on Rigid Polyelectrolytes
Paulo S. Kuhn, Yan Levin, Marcia C. Barbosa +1
A theory is presented which quantitatively accounts for the cooperative adsorption of cationic surfactants to anionic polyelectrolytes. For high salt concentration we find that the…
Comment on: Competing Interactions, the Renormalization Group, and the Isotropic-Nematic Phase Transition, by D. Barci and D. Stariolo, Phys. Rev. Lett. 98, 200604 (2007)
Yan Levin
In a recent PRL Barci and Stariolo (BS) generalized the well known Brazovskii model to include an additional rotationally invariant quartic interaction and study this model in two…
The renormalized jellium model for spherical and cylindrical colloids
Salete Pianegonda, Emmanuel Trizac, Yan Levin
Starting from a mean-field description for a dispersion of highly charged spherical or (parallel) rod-like colloids, we introduce the simplification of a homogeneous background to…
