Progress in the theory of electrostatic interactions between charged particles
Literature Information

In this perspective we examine recent theoretical developments in methods for calculating the electrostatic properties of charged particles of dielectric materials. Particular attention is paid to the phenomenon of like-charge attraction and we investigate the specific conditions under which particles carrying the same sign of charge can experience an attractive interaction. Given favourable circumstances, it is shown that even weakly polarisable materials, such as oil droplets and polymer particles, can experience like-charge attraction. Emphasis is also placed on the numerical accuracy of the multipole approach adopted in many electrostatic solutions and on the importance of establishing strict convergence criteria when addressing problems involving particulate materials with high dielectric constants.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
