A novel protocol for linearization of the Poisson-Boltzmann equation
arXiv:1401.1018
Abstract
A new protocol for linearization of the Poisson-Boltzmann equation is proposed and the resultant electrostatic equation coincides formally with the Debye-Huckel equation, the solution of which is well known for many electrostatic problems. The protocol is examined on the example of electrostatically stabilized nano-bubbles and it is shown that stable nano-bubbles could be present in aqueous solutions of anionic surfactants near the critical temperature, if the surface potential is constant. At constant surface charge non nano-bubble could exist.
