摘要
We study charge correlations in bundles of like-charged rods that attract each other via counterion-mediated interactions, using a Debye-Huckel approach. We first show that the approach can predict oscillatory charge correlations in electrolyte solutions once the nonzero ion size is taken into account. We then apply the approach to bundles of rods, and And that the charge correlation function exhibits oscillatory decay due to many-body effective interactions among the rods. [S1063-651X(98)12511-4].
