Regions of attraction between like-charged conducting spheres
نویسنده
چکیده
Two positively charged conducting spheres have been shown to attract at close enough range, unless they have a charge ratio that would result from contact. We give analytical results for the charge ratio at which the cross-over between electrostatic attraction and repulsion occurs, as a function of the sphere separation.

Colloidal electrostatic interactions near a conducting surface.
Like-charged colloidal spheres dispersed in de-ionized water are supposed to repel each other. Instead, artifact-corrected video microscopy measurements reveal an anomalous long-ranged like-charge attraction in the interparticle pair potential when the spheres are confined to a layer by even a single-charged glass surface. These attractions can be masked by electrostatic repulsions at low ionic...
متن کاملDynamic self-assembly of rings of charged metallic spheres.
This Letter describes dynamic self-assembly in a system of stainless steel spheres ( approximately 1 mm in diameter) rolling on a flat dielectric surface under the influence of an external magnetic field that rotates parallel to the plane of the surface. As the spheres move, they charge triboelectrically. Self-assembly is mediated by two types of electrostatic interactions among these charges: ...
متن کاملAttraction between weakly charged silica spheres at a water-air interface induced by surface-charge heterogeneity.
We report an optical and atomic force microscopic (AFM) study of interactions between weakly charged silica spheres at a water-air interface. Attractive interactions are observed at intermediate interparticle distances and the amplitude of the attraction increases with the amount of salt (NaCl) added into the water phase. AFM images obtained in the salty water show the formation of patchy charg...
متن کاملStrong attraction between charged spheres due to metastable ionized states
We report a mechanism which can lead to long-range attractions between like-charged spherical macroions, stemming from the existence of metastable ionized states. We show that the ground state of a single highly charged colloid plus a few excess counterions is overcharged. For the case of two highly charged macroions in their neutralizing divalent counterion solution we demonstrate that, in the...
متن کاملLike-charge attraction and hydrodynamic interaction
We demonstrate that the attractive interaction measured between like-charged colloidal spheres near a wall can be accounted for by a nonequilibrium hydrodynamic effect. We present both analytical results and Brownian dynamics simulations which quantitatively capture the one-wall experiments of Larsen and Grier [Nature (London) 385, 230 (1997)], using a single unmeasured parameter.
