This study derives an analytic expression for electrostatic interaction energy between charged hard spheres in electrolyte solutions. Polarization effects lead to attractive forces, significantly altering potential distribution for strongly interacting spheres.

Area of Science:

  • Physical Chemistry
  • Electrochemistry
