Competitive adsorption and ordered packing of counterions near highly charged surfaces: From mean-field theory to Monte Carlo simulations.
Competitive adsorption of counterions of multiple species to charged surfaces is studied by a size-effect-included mean-field theory and Monte Carlo (MC) simulations. The mean-field electrostatic free-energy functional of ionic concentrations, constrained by Poisson's equation, is numerically minimized by an augmented Lagrangian multiplier method. Unrestricted primitive models and canonical ens...
متن کاملAdsorption of a weakly charged polymer on an oppositely charged colloidal particle: Monte Carlo simulations investigation
Monte Carlo simulations were used to investigate the conformational and electrical properties of isolated weak polyelectrolytes in the presence of an oppositely charged particle. Titrations curves were calculated to get an insight into the role of pH on the degree of ionization and conformation of isolated chains. The effect of ionic concentration and polyelectrolyte length on the titration cur...
متن کاملPhases of anisotropic dipolar antiferromagnets: Mean field theory and Monte Carlo simulations
We study systems of classical magnetic dipoles on simple cubic lattices with dipolar and antiferromagnetic exchange interactions. By analysis and Monte Carlo MC simulations, we find how the antiferromagnetic phases vary with uniaxial and fourfold anisotropy constants C and D respectively , as well as with exchange strength J. We pay special attention to the spin reorientation SR phase, and exhi...
متن کاملMonte Carlo Simulations of Copolymer Adsorption from Copolymer / Homopolymer Melts at Planar Chemically Patterned Surfaces
We investigate the adsorption of copolymers from copolymer / homopolymer mixtures at planar chemically patterned surfaces. The Monte Carlo bond fluctuation model is used in conjunction with configurational biased Monte Carlo moves to study the effect of: i) the copolymer microstructure, ii) the size and spatial distribution of chemical heterogeneities on the substrate, and iii) the polymer/subs...
متن کاملMonte Carlo Simulations of Random Surfaces
Random surfaces are of great interest as a model of gravity, but also provide the basis for an exploration of membranes. Many random surface models have been proposed to describe uctuating uid membranes. These models have been extensively studied both analytically and numerically. We analyze numerically the critical properties of two-dimensional discretized random surfaces with extrinsic curvat...
