摘要:

离子介导的相互作用对于聚电解质如胶体和核酸的性质是重要的。两种聚电解质之间的有效对相互作用已被广泛研究,但多体效应的多聚电解质仍然是难以捉摸的。本文采用蒙特卡罗模拟和非线性Poisson-Boltzmann理论研究了同电荷纳米粒子在不同盐溶液中平均力势(PMF)的多体效应。我们的计算表明,在高的1:1盐,PMF是弱排斥和出现加性,而在低的1:1盐,加性假设高估了排斥多体PMF。在低的2:2盐,对PMF出现弱排斥,而多体PMF可以成为吸引力。相反,在高2:2盐浓度下,对PMF是明显吸引的,而多体效应可以导致比加性假设更弱的吸引PMF。我们的微观分析表明,难以捉摸的多体效应归因于离子结合,这是敏感的离子浓度,离子价态,纳米粒子的数量和纳米粒子上的电荷。

英文摘要:

Ion-mediated interaction is important for the properties of polyelectrolytes such as colloids and nucleic acids. The effective pair interactions between two polyelectrolytes have been investigated extensively, but the many-body effect for multiple polyelectrolytes still remains elusive. In this work, the many-body effect in potential of mean force (PMF) between like-charged nanoparticles in various salt solutions has been comprehensively examined by Monte Carlo simulation and the nonlinear Poisson-Boltzmann theory. Our calculations show that, at high 1:1 salt, the PMF is weakly repulsive and appears additive, while at low 1:1 salt, the additive assumption overestimates the repulsive many-body PMF. At low 2:2 salt, the pair PMF appears weakly repulsive while the many-body PMF can become attractive. In contrast, at high 2:2 salt, the pair PMF is apparently attractive while the many-body effect can cause a weaker attractive PMF than that from the additive assumption. Our microscopic analyses suggest that the elusive many-body effect is attributed to ion-binding which is sensitive to ion concentration, ion valence, number of nanoparticles and charges on nanoparticles.
