چکیده

The effects of size and charge asymmetry on the gas-liquid critical parameters of a primitive model (PM) of ionic fluids are studied within the framework of the statistical field theory based on the collective variables method. Recently, this approach has enabled us to obtain the correct trends of the both critical parameters of the equisize charge-asymmetric PM without assuming ionic association. In this paper, we focus on the general case of an asymmetric PM characterized by the two parameters: hard-sphere diameter, lambda=sigma+/sigma-, and charge, z=q+/|q-|, ratios of the two ionic species. We derive an explicit expression for the chemical potential conjugate to the order parameter which includes the effects of correlations up to the third order. Based on this expression we consider the three versions of PM: a monovalent size-asymmetric PM (lambda not equal 1, z=1) , an equisize charge-asymmetric PM (lambda=1, z not equal 1) and a size- and charge-asymmetric PM (lambda not equal 1, z=2) . Similar to simulations, our theory predicts that the critical temperature and the critical density decrease with the increase in size asymmetry. Regarding the effects of charge asymmetry, we obtain the correct trend of the critical temperature with z , while the trend of the critical density obtained in this approximation is inconsistent with simulations, as well as with our previous results found in the higher-order approximation. We expect that the consideration of the higher-order correlations will lead to the correct trend of the critical density with charge asymmetry.

Phase equilibria of size- and charge-asymmetric primitive models of ionic fluids: the method of collective variables

We study the phase diagrams of z:1 size-asymmetric primitive models (PMs) using a theory that exploits the method of collective variables. Based on the explicit expression for the relevant chemical potential (conjugate to the order parameter) which includes the correlation effects up to the third order we consider some particular cases of asymmetric PMs (1:1, 2:1 and 3:1 systems). Coexistence c...

Lattice models of ionic systems with charge asymmetry

The thermodynamics of a charge-asymmetric lattice gas of positive ions carrying charge q and negative ions with charge 2zq is investigated using Debye–Hückel theory. Explicit analytic and numerical calculations, which take into account the formation of neutral and charged clusters and cluster solvation by the residual ions, are performed for z52, 3, and 4. As charge asymmetry increases, the pre...
