Modulation effects within the mean-field theory of electrolyte solutions.
The consequences of source charge and surface modulation are studied within the framework of the Poisson-Boltzmann theory of electrolyte solutions. Through a consideration of various examples, it is found that inherent modulation can lead to both like-charge attraction and overcharging effects.
