A discussion is given of the experimental evidence for overcharging, also known as charge
reversal. The phenomenon is very common. The most general explanation is specific …

Hofmeister, or lyotropic, series date back to 1888, when the founder arranged a large
number of electrolytes in sequences with respect to their effectiveness salting out egg white …

Because micro-ions accumulate around highly charged colloidal particles in electrolyte
solutions, the relevant parameter to compute their interactions is not the bare charge, but an …

The interactions between charged colloidal particles in an electrolyte may be described by
usual Debye− Hückel theory provided the source of the electric field is suitably …

Valproic acid is a short branched fatty acid used as an anticonvulsant drug whose
therapeutic action has been proposed to arise from membrane-disordering properties. Static …

A hybrid approach for solving the nonlinear Poisson–Boltzmann equation (PBE) is
presented. Under this approach, the electrostatic potential is separated into (1) a linear …

Inferring the 3D structure and conformation of disordered biomolecules, eg, single stranded
nucleic acids (ssNAs), remains challenging due to their conformational heterogeneity in …

Screened electrostatic surface forces, also called double layer forces, between surfaces in
ionic liquids can, depending on the circumstances, decay in an exponentially damped …

In solution as in vacuum, the electrostatic field distribution in the vicinity of a charged object
carries information on its three-dimensional geometry. We report on an experimental study …

An extended Debye–Hückel theory with fourth order gradient term is developed for
electrolyte solutions; namely, the electric potential φ (r) of the bulk electrolyte solution can be …
