A system of counterions between charged surfaces is investigated, with the surfaces represented by uniform charged planes and three different arrangements of discrete surface charges - an equispaced grid and two different clustered arrangements. The

The interaction between two charged surfaces, with discrete or uniform charge distributions, embedded in a solution of rodlike counterions has been studied. Monte Carlo simulations and density functional theory have been applied to study the concentr

The effect of adding tetravalent counterions to polyelectrolytes of varying stiffness is investigated by a flat histogram Monte Carlo technique that is capable of giving the free energy of the system by direct simulation. The ensemble average of the

We present a method of parallelizing flat histogram Monte Carlo simulations, which give the free energy of a molecular system as an output. In the serial version, a constant probability distribution, as a function of any system parameter, is calculat

The behavior of polyampholytes (PAs) in electric fields is investigated by Monte Carlo simulations. In bulk it is found that the response of the PA depends on the charge sequence. For small repeating units of positive and negative charges the respons

The force-extension behavior of charged polymers is investigated by the means of Monte Carlo simulations in the stress ensemble, strain ensemble and by a method which gives the free energy for a chosen range of end-to-end distances. All three methods

The force between two planar charged surfaces in the presence of polyampholytes (PAs) is investigated as a function of the surface separation. The model system contains PA molecules with zero net charge adsorbing onto the charged surfaces from a dilu

The polarizabilities of polyampholytes have been calculated in Monte Carlo simulations. For chains with random charge topologies, the polarizability increases with the chain length and the chain flexibility. For block copolymers, the polarizability i

The stability of a colloidal solution consisting of a mixture of charged spherical aggregates and polyampholytes is investigated by means of Monte Carlo simulations. The double-layer repulsion between the charged macroions is reduced upon addition of

The adsorption of flexible polyampholytes to charged surfaces has been investigated. The electrostatic interactions are included in a mean-field manner, while the chain connectivity is treated by Metropolis Monte Carlo (MC) simulations. For large eno
