Screening length for finite-size ions in concentrated electrolytes
Screening length for finite-size ions in concentrated electrolytes
The classical Debye-H\"uckel (DH) theory clearly accounts for the origin of screening in electrolyte solutions and works rather well for dilute electrolyte solutions. While the Debye screening length decreases with the ion concentration and is independent of ion size, recent surface-force measurements imply that for concentrated solutions, the screening length …
