Dependency of colloid overcharge on the salt concentration — •Olaf Lenz1, Marcia Barbosa2, and Christian Holm1 — 1FIAS, Frankfurt am Main, Germany — 2Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul, Porto Alegre, Brazil
We have performed coarse-grained MD simulations of a highly charged colloid in a solution of 3:1 and additional 1:1 salt. The dependency of the colloid's overcharge on the concentration of the additional 1:1 salt has been studied. Depending on the colloid's characteristics and the concentration of the multivalent ions, a non-monotonic behavior has been found.
We compare these results with the theoretical predictions from a density functional theory by M. Barbosa.
