• 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 ...
    • Lattice model of ionic liquid confined by metal electrodes 

      Girotto, Matheus; Malossi, Rodrigo Mór; Santos, Alexandre Pereira dos; Levin, Yan (2018) [Artigo de periódico]
      We study, using Monte Carlo simulations, the density profiles and differential capacitance of ionic liquids confined by metal electrodes. To compute the electrostatic energy, we use the recently developed approach based ...
    • Reply to "Comment on 'Vortex distribution in a confining potential' " 

      Girotto, Matheus; Santos, Alexandre Pereira dos; Pakter, Renato; Levin, Yan (2014) [Artigo de periódico]
      We argue that contrary to recent suggestions, nonextensive statistical mechanics has no relevance for inhomogeneous systems of particles interacting by short-range potentials. We show that these systems are perfectly well ...
    • Simulations of Coulomb systems confined by polarizable surfaces using periodic Green functions 

      Santos, Alexandre Pereira dos; Girotto, Matheus; Levin, Yan (2017) [Artigo de periódico]
      We present an efficient approach for simulating Coulomb systems confined by planar polarizable surfaces. The method is based on the solution of the Poisson equation using periodic Green functions. It is shown that the ...
    • Simulations of Coulomb systems with slab geometry using an efficient 3D Ewald summation method 

      Santos, Alexandre Pereira dos; Girotto, Matheus; Levin, Yan (2016) [Artigo de periódico]
      We present a new approach to efficiently simulate electrolytes confined between infinite charged walls using a 3d Ewald summation method. The optimal performance is achieved by separating the electrostatic potential produced ...
    • Simulations of electrolyte between charged metal surfaces 

      Malossi, Rodrigo Mór; Girotto, Matheus; Santos, Alexandre Pereira dos; Levin, Yan (2020) [Artigo de periódico]
      We present a new method for simulating ungrounded charged metal slabs inside an electrolyte solution. The ions are free to move between the interior and exterior regions of the slab–electrolyte system. This leads to ...
    • Simulations of ionic liquids confined by metal electrodes using periodic Green functions 

      Girotto, Matheus; Santos, Alexandre Pereira dos; Levin, Yan (2017) [Artigo de periódico]
      We present an efficient method for simulating Coulomb systems confined by metal electrodes. The approach relies on Green function techniques to obtain the electrostatic potential for an infinite periodically replicated ...
    • Vortex distribution in a confining potential 

      Girotto, Matheus; Santos, Alexandre Pereira dos; Levin, Yan (2013) [Artigo de periódico]
      We study a model of interacting vortices in a type II superconductor. In the weak coupling limit, we constructed a mean-field theory which allows us to accurately calculate the vortex density distribution inside a confining ...

      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. ...
