Incorporation of ion and solvent structure into mean-field modeling of the electric double layer

K Bohinc, GV Bossa, S May - Advances in colloid and interface science, 2017 - Elsevier
An electric double layer forms when the small mobile ions of an electrolyte interact with an
extended charged object, a macroion. The competition between electrostatic attraction and …

Poisson-Helmholtz-Boltzmann model of the electric double layer: Analysis of monovalent ionic mixtures

K Bohinc, A Shrestha, M Brumen, S May - Physical Review E—Statistical …, 2012 - APS
In the classical mean-field description of the electric double layer, known as the Poisson-
Boltzmann model, ions interact exclusively through their Coulomb potential. Ion specificity …

The Poisson-Helmholtz-Boltzmann model

K Bohinc, A Shrestha, S May - The European Physical Journal E, 2011 - Springer
We present a mean-field model of a one-component electrolyte solution where the mobile
ions interact not only via Coulomb interactions but also through a repulsive non-electrostatic …

Two-Yukawa fluid at a hard wall: Field theory treatment

I Kravtsiv, T Patsahan, M Holovko… - The Journal of Chemical …, 2015 - pubs.aip.org
We apply a field-theoretical approach to study the structure and thermodynamics of a two-
Yukawa fluid confined by a hard wall. We derive mean field equations allowing for numerical …

Maier-Saupe nematogenic fluid: field theoretical approach

M Holovko, D Di Caprio, I Kravtsiv - arXiv preprint arXiv:1202.4548, 2012 - arxiv.org
We adopt a field theoretical approach to study the structure and thermodynamics of a
homogeneous Maier-Saupe nematogenic fluid interacting with anisotropic Yukawa …

Adsorption of mixtures of the Yukawa-ions near a hard wall: A density functional study based on the third-order Ornstein-Zernike relation

LL Lee, FS Ramos, AM Ramos - Journal of Molecular Liquids, 2018 - Elsevier
We examine the adsorption of the primitive-model “ionic” mixtures modeled in terms of the
screened Debye potentials on a hard structureless wall. It is well-known that the screened …

Nematic fluid at a hard wall in the mean field approximation

M Holovko, I Kravtsiv, D Di Caprio - arXiv preprint arXiv:1303.5592, 2013 - arxiv.org
In the framework of a field theoretical approach we study Maier-Saupe nematogenic fluid in
contact with a hard wall. The pair interaction potential of the considered model consists of an …

Cluster expansion for the description of condensed state: crystalline cell approach

GS Bokun, MF Holovko - arXiv preprint arXiv:1812.08536, 2018 - arxiv.org
A well-known cluster expansion, which leads to virial expansion for the free energy of low
density systems, is modified in such a way that it becomes applicable to the description of …

Oscillating Yukawa fluid at a hard wall: field theory description

DD Caprio, I Kravtsiv, T Patsahan, M Holovko - Molecular Physics, 2016 - Taylor & Francis
ABSTRACT A field-theoretical approach is applied to study the structure of an oscillating
Yukawa fluid in contact with a hard wall. The system is described beyond the mean field …

Density functional theory for Yukawa fluids

MM Hatlo, P Banerjee, J Forsman, L Lue - The Journal of Chemical …, 2012 - pubs.aip.org
We develop an approximate field theory for particles interacting with a generalized Yukawa
potential. This theory improves and extends a previous splitting field theory, originally …
