  • When σ b ≠ 0, the notion of pressure should be considered with caution, as discussed for one-component plasmas in Ref. [31].

  • When there is a symmetry mismatch, such as with a charged disc in a spherical cell, or a charged cylinder of finite size, the pressure takes a more complicated form [26, 53, 54].

  • Formally, the limit can be taken considering that βe 2σ2 a is fixed, and likewise for σ b . Otherwise, the limit βe 2 → 0 is trivial, with uniform profiles, as would occur say for diverging temperature.
  • The Manning parameter for the two-dimensional systems is defined as ξ = β|Q a q|/2, and is related to the coupling constant Γ through neutrality as ξ = NΓ/2.

  • This definition of the number of condensed ions N c agrees with [39, Equation (19)] if 2/Γ is not an integer. It differs by one when 2/Γ is an integer. In the case when 2/Γ is an integer, one counterion is ‘floating’ around and a precise definition of condensed counterions (such as the one proposed above) should be provided to properly compute N c and decide if the ‘floating’ counterion is included or not in the condensed fraction.

  • Note that both sides of Equation (81) depend on inverse temperature, so that U is effectively independent on temperature, as it should for a ground-state feature.
  • The radius of the colloids in Ref. [47] is 2 nm, but it should be augmented by the ionic radius (0.2 nm) to get a meaningful comparison.
  • As a further test, we may compare the prediction of Equation (81) to the values reported in Ref. [47]. Attention should be paid to the fact that the internal energy reported in [47] excludes the self-term and should thus be compared to βU as following from (81) minus ℓ B Q 2 a /(2Ra ). For q = 3, we find an agreement better than 2%, which can furthermore be improved by considering a more accurate expression for U, including sub-leading corrections in the coupling parameter, as proposed for instance in [55].

  • It may be noted that within Poisson–Boltzmann theory, and again for the planar geometry, a stronger relation holds, namely that n − (∇φ)2/(8πℓ B ) is constant, see e.g. D. Andelman, in Soft Condensed Matter Physics in Molecular and Cell Biology, edited by W.C.K. Poon , D. Andelman (Taylor and Francis, New York, 2006), Chapt. 6. This stems from the condition of mechanical equilibrium of the fluid of mobile ions, and reflects the fact that Maxwell's stress tensor is divergence free.
