摘要
The effect of electric field on the corrugation of the interface between two immiscible electrolytes is theoretically studied within the linearized Poisson-Boltzmann approximation. It is shown that charging of the interface leads to an enhancement of the surface corrugation, which may cause a destruction of the interface by a sufficiently strong field. Dependencies of the mean-square height of corrugation on the overall potential drop across the interface V and on the ionic concentrations in the two electrolytes are analyzed. Predictions amenable to experimental tests are discussed. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
