Debye–Hückel Theory For Rigid‐Dipole Fluids, John D. Ramshaw May 1976

Debye–Hückel Theory For Rigid‐Dipole Fluids, John D. Ramshaw

Physics Faculty Publications and Presentations

The dipolar analog of classical linearized Debye–Hückel theory is formulated for a finite fluid system of arbitrary shape composed of rigid polar molecules. In contrast to the ionic case, the dipolar Debye–Hückel (DDH) theory is nonunique due to an inherent arbitrariness in the choice of a local field E*. This nonuniqueness is expressed in terms of a parameter ϑ related to the ellipticity of the spheroidal cavity used to define E*. The theory then leads to an expression for the direct correlation function c (ϑ) as a function of ϑ. Only the short‐range part of c (ϑ) depends upon ϑ; …
