Field-Theoretic Approaches to Classical Charged Systems

  • Conference paper
Electrostatic Effects in Soft Matter and Biophysics

Part of the book series: NATO Science Series ((NAII,volume 46))

Abstract

Electric charges and processes involving electrostatic interactions are abundant in biological, colloidal, and polymeric systems. Realizing that even the ubiquitous van-der-Waals or dispersion interactions are due to locally fluctuating electric fields (or, equivalently, polarization charges), one can justly say that interactions caused and mediated by permanent and induced charges constitute the most prominent factors determining the behavior and properties of all materials at mesoscopic scales.
