Colloid–counterion mixtures: an advanced integral equation

Luc Belloni

Show affiliations


The highly asymmetrical primitive model of colloid–counterion mixtures is solved using the advanced integral equation proposed by Barrat et al(Barrat J L, Hansen J P and Pastore G 1988 Mol. Phys. 63 747–67). The approximate bridge functions are expressed in terms of three-particle direct correlation functions, themselves derived from a factorization ansatz and thermodynamical relations. Comparisons with the bare HNC and previous improved closures as well as with recent Monte Carlo simulation data illustrate the efficiency of this equation for the precise determination of the structural and equilibrium properties of highly charged colloidal systems.
