One Hundred Years of Electrified Interfaces

Explore a comprehensive lecture on electrified interfaces spanning a century of scientific progress. Delve into the intricacies of ions in liquids, Poisson-Boltzmann theory, and the Boltzmann distribution. Examine the development of Boltzmann solvers and GUI implementations. Investigate the electric constant of seawater and the dielectric response of water molecules. Analyze dipolar water, dipolar free energy, and one-loop corrections to mean field theory. Study the Onsager-Samaras theory of surface tension and coagulation. Explore surface charge distribution and the conductivity of concentrated ionic solutions, from dilute limits to low concentrations. Join David Andelman, a visiting professor at MIT, as he guides you through this extensive 1-hour and 21-minute journey through the fascinating world of electrified interfaces.
