A theory of quasi-neutral equilibrium states of charges above a liquid dielectric surface is developed. This theory is based on the first principles of quantum statistics for systems comprising many identical particles. The proposed approach involves applying the variational principle, modified for the considered systems, and the Thomas–Fermi model. In the terms of the developed theory self-consistency equations are obtained. These equations provide the relation between the main parameters describing the system: the potential of the static electric field, the distribution function of charges and the surface profile of the liquid dielectric. The equations are used to study the phase transition in the system to a spatially periodic state. The proposed method can be applied in analyzing the properties of the phase transition in the system in relation to the spatially periodic states of wave type. Using the analytical and numerical methods, we perform a detailed study of the dependence of the critical parameters of such a phase transition on the thickness of the liquid dielectric film. Some stability criteria for the new asymmetric phase of the studied system are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
