Potential of mean force between like-charged nanoparticles: Many-body effect
Ion-mediated interaction is important for the properties of polyelectrolytes such as colloids and nucleic acids. The effective pair interactions between two polyelectrolytes have been investigated extensively, but the many-body effect for multiple polyelectrolytes still remains elusive. In this work, the many-body effect in potential of mean force (PMF) between like-charged nanoparticles in var...
متن کاملThe mean-field theory for attraction between like-charged macromolecules
A mean-field theory based on Gibbs-Bogoliubov inequality is constructed to study the interactions between two like-charged polyions. It is shown that contrary to the previously established paradigm, a properly constructed mean-field theory can quantitatively account for the attractive interactions between two like-charged rods. One of the most fascinating problems that has recently appeared in ...
متن کاملForce-based many-body interatomic potential for ZrC
A classical potential for ZrC is developed in the form of a modified second-moment approximation with emphasis on the strong directional dependence of the C–Zr interactions. The model has a minimal set of parameters, 4 for the pure metal and 6 for the cross interactions, which are fitted to the database of cohesive energies of B1–, B2–, and B3–ZrC, the heat of formation, and most importantly, t...
متن کاملEffective pair potential between charged nanoparticles at high volume fractions.
Simulations of charged colloidal dispersions are technically challenging. One possible workaround consists in reducing the system to the colloids only, whose interactions are described through an effective pair potential, wf. Still, the determination of wf is difficult mainly because it depends on the colloidal density, ϕ. Here we propose to calculate wf from simulations of a pair of colloids p...
متن کاملIon-Specific Potential of Mean Force Between two Aqueous Proteins
There is a considerable effort in the literature trying to calculate the mean force between globular proteins (and colloidal particles). To this purpose, we used here the ion-specific Poisson-Boltzmann (PB) equation that presents good results of ionic concentration profiles around a macroion, especially for salt solutions containing monovalent ions. The ion-specific PB equation includes not onl...
