Field theory for charged fluids and colloids
- Physics
- 1998
Charged systems are considered using field theoretic methods which include fluctuations and correlations via a systematic expansion in powers of the local electrostatic potential. At the Gaussian…
On the theory of dipolar fluids and ion–dipole mixtures
- Physics
- 1978
The Stillinger–Lovett condition for the second moment of ion–ion distribution functions is obtained from first principles for an ion–dipole mixture. The Debye–Huckel form for the asymptotic behavior…
Integral equations in ionic solution theory
- Physics
- 1964
An exact formal integral equation is derived for the solute radial distribution functions in a multi-component solution of ions interacting with a Coulomb potential plus a short-range potential. The…
Symmetry breaking gives rise to energy spectra of three states of matter
- PhysicsScientific Reports
- 2013
A generic form of an interacting phonon Hamiltonian with ground state configurations minimising the potential is introduced that enables a unified description of all three states of matter.
Mode Expansion in Equilibrium Statistical Mechanics. III. Optimized Convergence and Application to Ionic Solution Theory
- Physics
- 1971
The mode expansion is an infinite series for the Helmholtz free energy of a system of classical particles with spherically symmetric interparticle potentials. A systematic procedure is presented for…
Energy criterion in the interpretation of dielectric relaxation
- Physics
- 1993
The “universal” fractional-power-law frequency dependence of relaxation seen in most solid dielectrics has the unique property that the ratio of macroscopic energy lost per radian to energy stored is…
Charge renormalization, osmotic pressure, and bulk modulus of colloidal crystals: Theory
- Physics
- 1984
The interactions between charged colloidal particles with sufficient strength to cause crystallization are shown to be describable in terms of the usual Debye–Huckel approximation, but with a…
The phonon theory of liquid thermodynamics
- PhysicsScientific Reports
- 2012
A phonon theory of liquids is developed where the perceived difficulty is that interactions in a liquid are both strong and system-specific, implying that the energy strongly depends on the liquid type and that liquid energy can not be calculated in general form.
An introduction to dispersive interactions
- Physics
- 2009
Dispersive forces are a kind of van der Waals intermolecular force which could only be fully understood with the establishment of quantum mechanics and, in particular, of quantum electrodynamics. In…
