Abstract:In this paper, we theoretically study the electrostatic interaction between a pair of identical colloids with constant surface potentials sitting in close vicinity of each other at a fluid interface. By employing a simplified yet reasonable model system, the problem is solved within the framework of classical density functional theory and linearized as well as nonlinear Poisson-Boltzmann (PB) theory. Apart from providing a sound theoretical framework generally applicable to any such problem, our novel findings… Show more
