Interaction between particles with inhomogeneous surface charge distributions: Revisiting the Coulomb fission of dication molecular clusters (2019)
Journal Article
Filippov, A. V., Chen, X., Harris, C., Stace, A. J., & Besley, E. (2019). Interaction between particles with inhomogeneous surface charge distributions: Revisiting the Coulomb fission of dication molecular clusters. Journal of Chemical Physics, 151(15), https://doi.org/10.1063/1.5119347

An analytical solution describing the electrostatic interaction between particles with inhomogeneous surface charge distributions has been developed. For particles, each carrying a single charge, the solution equates to the presence of a point charge...
