Abstract
After a bird's eye view of double-layer models of interfaces between metals and aqueous solutions from their very beginning, recent developments are r eviewed. The rule of the metal is examined by considering calculations ibr metal clusters and the jellium model, both in vacuo and in contact with mod el solutions. Integral equation approaches to the solution side of the inte rfaces are reviewed and compared with Monte Carlo and molecular dynamics si mulations of analogous molecular models. Computer simulations of metal-wate r interfaces (including Car-Parinello simulations) and of ionic solution me tal interfaces are considered. Finally, a field-theoretical approach to the double-layer and the treatment of rough electrodes are briefly reviewed. ( C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
