Abstract
The study of ion distributions near charged surfaces holds great promise for the understanding of various biophysical processes [1–3] , such as ion and electron transfer across biomembranes and DNA condensation to name but a few, and finds natural applications in the industry, most notably in energy storage in electrochemical capacitors [4]. The study of ion distributions is a multidisciplinary field, spanning statistical mechanics, many-body physics, computer simulation, electrochemistry, and physical chemistry.
