Surface Tension of a Metal-Electrolyte Boundary: Exactly Solvable Model

Surface Tension of an Ideal Dielectric-Electrolyte Boundary: Exactly Solvable Model

The model under consideration is a semi-infinite two-dimensional two-component plasma (Coulomb gas), stable against bulk collapse for the dimensionless coupling constant β < 2, in contact with a dielectric wall of dielectric constant = 0. The model is mapped onto an integrable sine-Gordon theory with a “free” Neumann boundary condition. Using recent results on a reflection relationship between ...

Prediction of Surface Tension in Single and Mixed Electrolyte Solutions

Exactly solvable model of the 2D electrical double layer

We consider equilibrium statistical mechanics of a simplified model for the ideal conductor electrode in an interface contact with a classical semi-infinite electrolyte, modeled by the twodimensional Coulomb gas of pointlike ± unit charges in the stability-against-collapse regime of reduced inverse temperatures 0 ≤ β < 2. If there is a potential difference between the bulk interior of the elect...

Step line tension on a metal electrode.

The step line tension in electrochemical systems differs conceptually from the line tension on metals in the vacuum because it refers to different boundary conditions. A procedure is established for calculating the electrochemical line tension and is applied to a novel model of the interface comprising both a stepped metal electrode and an electrolyte solution. To first order, the potential dep...

Testing the Influence of Surface Tension and Finite Width of QGP Bags on the QCD Matter EOS Properties at NICA Energies

Here I give some strong arguments that the central issues for theoretical studies of the (tri)critical endpoint of the QCD phase diagram are the surface tension of large/heavy QGP bags and their medium dependent width. Then I discuss three major directions to further develop the realistic exactly solvable statistical models which simultaneously are able to describe the 1-st order deconfinement ...
