Ss. Dukhin et Ia. Razilov, NONLINEARITY OF ELECTROPHORESIS CAUSED BY THE MOBILITY OF ADSORBED IONS - THE NEAR-THRESHOLD MAGNITUDE OF THE EXTERNAL-FIELD, Colloid journal of the Russian Academy of Sciences, 55(6), 1993, pp. 813-818
A solution was obtained for the problem of polarization of a layer of
ions adsorbed on the surface of a particle with a moderate (comparable
to the threshold) external field strength E. It was shown that in the
model of surface charge formation examined, the average electrokineti
c potential decreases as E increases. The optimum particle shape for w
hich the threshold field value decreases was determined and a method w
as suggested for obtaining an analytical solution of the problem for h
igher values of E.
