title: Force between charged particles with ion condensation
abstract: We have numerically calculated the interaction forces between two highly charged spherical particles embedded in a cloud of small ions with or without charge redistribution on the particle surfaces. Ion condensation near the charged particles leads to reduced electrostatic interaction between the particles, and we find that the effective two-particle interaction is significantly smaller than the values expected from considering only effective single-particle potentials.
