电荷多分散反离子的平面屏蔽
Planar screening by charge polydisperse counterions
摘要:
我们研究如何中和云的抗衡离子屏幕电场的均匀带电的平面膜板,当抗衡离子的特点是由分布的电荷(或价),$n(q)$。在非线性Poisson-Boltzmann理论的水平上,我们分析了单板和双板的情况。的(基本上是渐近的)预测成功地进行了比较,充分泊松-玻尔兹曼理论的数值解,但也蒙特卡罗模拟。具有最小价的反离子控制相互作用的长距离特征,并且可能定性地改变与经典的单分散情况有关的结果,其中所有反离子具有相同的电荷。重点放在连续分布$n(q)$,新的幂律可以证明,无论是离子密度或压力,在一个和两个板的情况下分别。我们表明,对于离散分布,更相关的实验,这些标度律坚持在一个中间,但可观察到的范围。此外,从实践的角度来看,连续$n(q)$行为的特征已经表现为具有相对少量组分的离散混合物。
英文摘要:
We study how a neutralising cloud of counterions screens the electric field of a uniformly charged planar membrane plate, when the counterions are characterised by a distribution of charges (or valence), $n(q)$. We work out analytically the one-plate and two-plate cases, at the level of non-linear Poisson-Boltzmann theory. The (essentially asymptotic) predictions are successfully compared to numerical solutions of the full Poisson-Boltzmann theory, but also to Monte Carlo simulations. The counterions with smallest valence control the long-distance features of interactions, and may qualitatively change the results pertaining to the classic monodisperse case where all counterions have the same charge. Emphasis is put on continuous distributions $n(q)$, for which new power-laws can be evidenced, be it for the ionic density or the pressure, in the one- and two-plates situations respectively. We show that for discrete distributions, more relevant for experiments, these scaling laws persist in an intermediate but yet observable range. Furthermore, it appears that from a practical point of view, hallmarks of the continuous $n(q)$ behaviour is already featured by discrete mixtures with a relatively small number of constituents.
