Beyond standard Poisson-Boltzmann theory: ion-specific interactions in aqueous solutions.
The Poisson-Boltzmann mean-field description of ionic solutions has been successfully used in predicting charge distributions and interactions between charged macromolecules. While the electrostatic model of charged fluids, on which the Poisson-Boltzmann description rests, and its statistical mechanical consequences have been scrutinized in great detail, much less is understood about its probab...
متن کاملIonic size effects on the Poisson-Boltzmann theory.
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 Poisson-Boltzmann equation in order to take into account the size of ions in a mean-field regime. The results are compared with Monte Carlo simulations and a density functional theory based on the fundamental measure appr...
متن کاملSpecific ion effects via ion hydration: I. Surface tension.
A simple modality is suggested to include, in the framework of a modified Poisson-Boltzmann approach, specific ion effects via the change in the ion hydration between the bulk and the vicinity of the surface. This approach can account for both the depletion of the interfacial region of structure-making ions as well as for the accumulation of structure-breaking ions near the interface. Expressio...
متن کاملSpecific ion effects via ion hydration: II. Double layer interaction.
A simple modified Poisson-Boltzmann formalism, which accounts also for those interactions between electrolyte ions and colloidal particles not included in the mean potential, is used to calculate the force between two parallel plates. It is shown that the short-range interactions between ions and plates, such as those due to the change in the hydration free energy of a structure-making/breaking...
متن کاملVariational Implicit Solvation with Poisson–Boltzmann Theory
We incorporate the Poisson-Boltzmann (PB) theory of electrostatics into our variational implicit-solvent model (VISM) for the solvation of charged molecules in an aqueous solvent. In order to numerically relax the VISM free-energy functional by our level-set method, we develop highly accurate methods for solving the dielectric PB equation and for computing the dielectric boundary force. We also...
