The effect of ionic size on polyion-small ion distributions in a cylindrical double layer

The structure of an electrolyte surrounding an isolated, cylindrical polyion - the cylindrical double layer - is studied using a density functional approach and the modified Poisson Boltzmann theory. The polyion is modelled as an infinitely long, rigid, and impenetrable charged cylinder, while the e...
