Distribution of ions around a charged sphere
نویسندگان
چکیده
Using a new method of calculating the effects of excluded volume, the authors evaluate the distribution of counterions around a charged sphere in thermal equilibrium. In regions of high concentration a saturation of the ion density is found, which is absent in the more conventional Gouy-Chapman model. At the same time the saturation effect of the potential (a property of the Gouy-Chapman model) is removed, giving significant corrections to the values of the potential and concentration at the surface of the sphere.

Effects of excluded volume on the electrolyte distribution around a charged sphere
In this paper a recently developed method is used to calculate the main effects of excluded volume on the distribution of ions around a charged central sphere in thermal equilibrium. The authom find significant corrections to the results of the conventional GouyChapman theory when the electrostatic energy due to the charge ofthe sphere is large compared with the thermal e n q y . The concematio...

In this study, 30-day-old seedlings of ric...
متن کاملForces between aqueous nonuniformly charged colloids from molecular simulation
NVT Monte Carlo simulation results are presented for the forces between charged colloids within the primitive model for electrolytes. The calculations show that when charged colloids have a net dipole moment, a strong attraction can arise at short separations. The attractive force is not purely electrostatic; significant contributions follow from hard-sphere collisions between the electrolyte i...
متن کاملUnsteady Free Convection from a Sphere in a Porous Medium with Variable Surface Temperature
In this paper a transient free convection flow around a sphere with variable surface temperature and embedded in a porous medium has been considered. The temperature of the sphere is suddenly raised and subsequently maintained at values that varies with position on surface. The method of asymptotic expansions is applied for small Rayleigh numbers and then a finite-difference scheme is used to s...
متن کاملThe Evolution of the Charge Density Distribution Function for Spherically Symmetric System with Zero Initial Conditions
The evolution of the charge density distribution function is simulated for both the case of a uniformly charged sphere with zero initial conditions and for the case of a non-uniform charged sphere. For the case of a uniformly charged sphere, the comparison of a numerical result and an exact analytical solution, demonstrated the agreement between the results. The process of “scattering” of a cha...
