The renormalized jellium model for spherical and cylindrical colloids.

چکیده
Starting from a mean-field description for a dispersion of highly charged spherical or (parallel) rodlike colloids, we introduce the simplification of a homogeneous background to include the contribution of other polyions to the static field created by a tagged polyion. The charge of this background is self-consistently renormalized to coincide with the polyion effective charge, the latter quantity thereby exhibiting a nontrivial density dependence, which directly enters into the equation of state through a simple analytical expression. The good agreement observed between the pressures calculated using the renormalized jellium and Monte Carlo simulations confirms the relevance of the renormalized jellium model for theoretical and experimental purposes and provides an alternative to the Poisson-Boltzmann cell model since it is free of some of the intrinsic limitations of this approach.

The renormalized Jellium model of colloidal suspensions with multivalent counterions.
An extension of the renormalized Jellium model which allows to study colloidal suspensions containing trivalent counterions is proposed. The theory is based on a modified Poisson-Boltzmann equation which incorporates the effects of counterion correlations near the colloidal surfaces using a new boundary condition. The renormalized charges, the counterion density profiles, and osmotic pressures ...
متن کاملSimple approach for charge renormalization in highly charged macroions.
We revisit the notion of renormalized charge, which is a concept of central importance in the field of highly charged colloidal or polyelectrolyte solutions. Working at the level of a linear Debye-Hückel-like theory only, we propose a versatile method to predict the saturated amount of charge renormalization, which is, however, a nonlinear effect arising at strong electrostatic coupling. The re...

متن کاملA self-consistent renormalized jellium approach for calculating structural and thermodynamic properties of charge stabilized colloidal suspensions.
An approach is proposed which allows to self-consistently calculate the structural and the thermodynamic properties of highly charged aqueous colloidal suspensions. The method is based on the renormalized jellium model with the background charge distribution related to the colloid-colloid correlation function. The theory is used to calculate the correlation functions and the effective colloidal...
متن کاملModeling and Simulation of Spherical and Cylindrical Contact Theories for Using in the Biological Nanoparticles Manipulation
The low Young's modulus of biological particles results in their large deformation against the AFM probe forces; therefore, it is necessary to study the contact mechanics of bioparticles in order to predict their mechanical behaviors. This paper specifically deals with the contact mechanics of DNA nanoparticles with spherical and cylindrical shapes during manipulation. In previous studies, ...
