We examine the effective counterion-mediated electrostatic interaction between two like-charged dielectric cylinders immersed in a continuous dielectric medium containing neutralizing mobile counterions. We focus on the effects of image charges induced as a result of the dielectric mismatch between the cylindrical cores and the surrounding dielectric medium and investigate the counterion-mediat...

A numerical model of the nonlinear interaction between beating electrostatic waves and magnetized ions, including collisions, is presented. Previous studies of the beating electrostatic waves (BEW) interacting with a single ion showed the ability of this mechanism to accelerate ions from arbitrarily low initial velocities, and have revealed the fundamental conditions for this interaction to occ...

In the present study, the binding isotherms for interaction of a homologous series of n-alkyltrimethyl ammonium bromides with bovine serum albumin (BSA) have been analyzed on basis of intrinsic thermodynamic quantities. In this regards, the intrinsic Gibbs free energy of binding, AGb(i,)„ has been estimated at various surfactant concentrations and its trend of variation for both binding sets ha...

Abstract The head-on collision between electrostatic shocks is studied via multi-dimensional Particle-In-Cell simulations. A strong magnetic field develops after the interaction, which causes shock velocities to drop significantly. This transverse generated by Weibel instability, driven pressure anisotropies due longitudinal electron heating while approach each other. possibility explore physic...

Pulsed energization of electrostatic precipitator (ESP) may represent one of the most promising solutions to comply with strict environmental regulation in case of high resistivity dust. Performs a parametric cost comparison between conventional and pulsed ESP with reference to four main industrial areas: electric power generation, cement manufacturing, iron and steel production, glass industry...

A system consisting of two independently contacted quantum dots with a strong electrostatic interaction shows an interdot Coulomb blockade when the dots are weakly tunnel coupled to their leads. How the blockade can be overcome by correlated tunneling when tunnel coupling to the leads increases is studied experimentally. The experimental results are compared with numerical renormalization group...
