Electrostatics of polymer translocation events in electrolyte solutions.
We develop an analytical theory that accounts for the image and surface charge interactions between a charged dielectric membrane and a DNA molecule translocating through the membrane. Translocation events through neutral carbon-based membranes are driven by a competition between the repulsive DNA-image-charge interactions and the attractive coupling between the DNA segments on the trans and th...
متن کاملA Nonlocal Poisson-Fermi Model for Ionic Solvent
We propose a nonlocal Poisson-Fermi model for ionic solvent that includes ion size effects and polarization correlations among water molecules in the calculation of electrostatic potential. It includes the previous Poisson-Fermi models as special cases, and its solution is the convolution of a solution of the corresponding nonlocal Poisson dielectric model with a Yukawa-type kernel function. Mo...
متن کاملPoisson-Fermi Model of Single Ion Activities in Aqueous Solutions
A Poisson-Fermi model is proposed for calculating activity coefficients of single ions in strong electrolyte solutions based on the experimental Born radii and hydration shells of ions in aqueous solutions. The steric effect of water molecules and interstitial voids in the first and second hydration shells play an important role in our model. The screening and polarization effects of water are ...
متن کاملThomas–fermi and Poisson Modeling of Gate Electrostatics in Graphene Nanoribbon
We describe a simple graphene nanoribbon and bottom gate system and present numerical algorithms for solving Poisson’s and Thomas–Fermi equations for electrons in the graphene nanoribbon. The Poisson’s equation is solved using finite difference and finite element methods. Using the Poisson and Thomas–Fermi equations we calculate an electrostatic potential and surface electron density in the gra...
متن کاملMicroscopic formulation of nonlocal electrostatics in polar liquids embedding polarizable ions.
Nonlocal electrostatic interactions associated with finite solvent size and ion polarizability are investigated within the mean-field linear response theory. To this end, we introduce a field-theoretic model of a polar liquid composed of linear multipole solvent molecules and embedding polarizable ions modeled as Drude oscillators. Unlike previous dipolar Poisson-Boltzmann formulations treating...
