Abstract
An analytic expression for the electrostatic potential of a point char ge within a concentric multilayered dielectric medium is derived in te rms of a Legendre expansion. A novel Brownian dynamics algorithm for s olving the Poisson equation for the reaction-field potential of charge s near dielectric interfaces is presented. To test both the computed a nd analytic solutions, the reaction-field potential and self-energy of a charge within a liposome are calculated and compared. (C) 1998 Amer ican Institute of Physics.
