Onsager-Manning-Oosawa condensation phenomenon and the effect of salt
Emmanuel Trizac 1, 2, Gabriel Tellez 3 Physical Review Letters 96 (2006) 038302 Making use of results pertaining to Painleve III type equations, we revisit the celebrated Onsager-Manning-Oosawa condensation phenomenon for charged stiff linear polymers, in the mean-field approximation with salt. We obtain analytically the associated critical line charge density, and show that it is severely affected by finite salt […]
