Abstract

Theoretical analysis of ionic electrostatic oscillations of a charged cylindrical micelle is presented within the framework of the fluid theory for surface counterions of the cell, in conjunction with the Poisson equation. General expression of dispersion relation is obtained for electrostatic excitations of system.
