摘要
Gas-liquid criticality in ionic fluids is studied in exactly soluble spherical models that use interlaced sublattices to represent hard-core multicomponent systems. Short-range attractions in the uncharged fluid drive criticality, but charged ions do not alter the universality class. Debye screening remains exponential at criticality in fully ion-symmetric 1:1 models. However, ionic asymmetry couples charge and density fluctuations in a direct manner: The charge correlation length then diverges precisely as the density correlation length and the Stillinger-Lovett rule is violated at criticality.
