• Charge neutrality breakdown in confined aqueous electrolytes : theory and simulation 

      Colla, Thiago Escobar; Girotto, Matheus; Santos, Alexandre Pereira dos; Levin, Yan (2016) [Artigo de periódico]
      We study, using Density Functional theory (DFT) and Monte Carlo simulations, aqueous electrolyte solutions between charged infinite planar surfaces, in contact with a bulk salt reservoir. In agreement with recent experimental ...
    • Equation of state of charged colloidal suspensions and its dependence on the thermodynamic route 

      Colla, Thiago Escobar; Santos, Alexandre Pereira dos; Levin, Yan (2012) [Artigo de periódico]
      The thermodynamic properties of highly charged colloidal suspensions in contact with a salt reservoir are investigated in the framework of the renormalized Jellium model (RJM). It is found that the equation of state is ...
    • Equilibrium properties of charged microgels : a Poisson-Boltzmann-Flory approach 

      Colla, Thiago Escobar; Likos, Christos N.; Levin, Yan (2014) [Artigo de periódico]
      The equilibrium properties of ionic microgels are investigated using a combination of the Poisson-Boltzmann and Flory theories. Swelling behavior, density profiles, and effective charges are all calculated in a self-consistent ...
    • Ionic size effects on the Poisson-Boltzmann theory 

      Colla, Thiago Escobar; Lopes, Lucas Nunes; Santos, Alexandre Pereira dos (2017) [Artigo de periódico]
      In this paper, we develop a simple theory to study the effects of ionic size on ionic distributions around a charged spherical particle. We include a correction to the regular Poisson-Boltzmann equation in order to take ...
    • A self-consistent renormalized jellium approach for calculating structural and thermodynamic properties of charge stabilized colloidal suspensions 

      Colla, Thiago Escobar; Levin, Yan; Trizac, Emmanuel (2009) [Artigo de periódico]
      An approach is proposed which allows to self-consistently calculate the structural and the thermodynamic properties of highly charged aqueous colloidal suspensions. The method is based on the renormalized jellium model ...
    • Structural anomalies for a three dimensional isotropic core-softned potential 

      Oliveira, Alan Barros de; Netz, Paulo Augusto; Colla, Thiago Escobar; Barbosa, Marcia Cristina Bernardes (2006) [Artigo de periódico]
      Using molecular dynamics simulations we investigate the structure of a system of particles interacting through a continuous core-softened interparticle potential. We found for the translational order parameter t a local ...
    • The renormalized Jellium model of colloidal suspensions with multivalent counterions 

      Colla, Thiago Escobar; Levin, Yan (2010) [Artigo de periódico]
      An extension of the renormalized Jellium model which allows to study colloidal suspensions containing trivalent counterions is proposed. The theory is based on a modified Poisson–Boltzmann equation which incorporates the ...
    • Thermodynamic and dynamic anomalies for a three-dimensional isotropic core-softened potential 

      Oliveira, Alan Barros de; Netz, Paulo Augusto; Colla, Thiago Escobar; Barbosa, Marcia Cristina Bernardes (2006) [Artigo de periódico]
      Using molecular-dynamics simulations and integral equations (Rogers-Young, Percus-Yevick, and hypernetted chain closures) we investigate the thermodynamics of particles interacting with continuous core-softened intermolecular ...
    • Yukawa particles in a confining potential 

      Girotto, Matheus; Santos, Alexandre Pereira dos; Colla, Thiago Escobar; Levin, Yan (2014) [Artigo de periódico]
      We study the density distribution of repulsive Yukawa particles confined by an external potential. In the weak coupling limit, we show that the mean-field theory is able to accurately account for the particle distribution. ...
