Elastic Properties of Charge Stabilized Colloidal Crystals with Simple Cubic Lattice

Article Preview

Abstract:

Elasticity of charge stabilized colloidal crystals is studied numerically within the approximation of static lattice. Description of the colloidal systems is based on the non-linear differential Poisson-Boltzmann equation. Corresponding boundary value problems are solved numerically by finite element method. The equilibrium pressure and elastic moduli are obtained for different values of the lattice parameter. The many-body effective interactions are briefly discussed.
