Abstract

The distance-resolved effective force between two spherical highly charged colloidal macroions is calculated within the primitive model of strongly asymmetric electrolytes using computer simulations. For parameters corresponding to typical experimental samples, a repulsive force is obtained. Possibilities for an effective attraction induced by very strong coupling between the macroions or by a geometric confinement of the macroions between glass plates are briefly discussed.
