Sedimentation of charged colloids: The primitive model and the effective one-component approach

Abstract: Sedimentation-diffusion equilibrium density profiles of suspensions of charge-stabilized colloids are calculated theoretically and by Monte Carlo (MC) simulations, both for a one-component model of colloidal particles interacting through pairwise screened-Coulomb repulsions and for a three-component model of colloids, cations, and anions with unscreened-Coulomb interactions. We focus on a state point for which experimental measurements are available [C. P. Royall, J. Phys.: Condens Matter 17, 2315 (2005)]. Des… Show more

“…If local charge neutrality is assumed, the slope becomes a factor of 1 / ͑1+Z / z͒ smaller. [16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24] Therefore, as the salt concentration increases, both the colloid-colloid repulsion and colloid-ion attraction become weak and the system tends to display the behavior of regime ͑i͒, that is, sedimentation profile for colloids is barometric and the counterions most likely distribute uniformly in the solution. 2 ͑for z =1͒, the slope for the linear curve of regime ͑i͒ is about 1 / 13 and the slope for the linear region of regime ͑iii͒ is about 1 / 140 which is larger than the expected value ͑1 / 13ϫ 1 / 16͒.…”

“…On the other hand, for small values of the structural charges, Z ren i ≃ Z i . As a consequence, expressions for the effective interaction potentials derived from linear theories, e.g., DLVO theory, are expected to be sufficient to describe the thermodynamic properties of the suspension, at least in the regime where pairwise additivity is expected [19,20].…”

“…In plasma physics, in particular in dusty plasmas [450][451][452][453][454][455][456][457][458]81,[459][460][461][462], also in colloidal systems [9,10,[463][464][465][466][467][468][469][470][471][472], a lot of experimental set-up may be represented as quasi-2D geometries. For these systems it is necessary to take correctly into account the long ranged feature of these interactions [161,473,178].…”
