Stability of ionic liquid modeled by composite Coulomb-Yukawa potentials

An ionic liquid modeled as a densely packed lattice with composite ion-specific Coulomb-Yukawa pair interactions tends to be unstable near a planar electrode, given the Yukawa potential mediates an effective short-range attraction of the ions. We present a comprehensive mean-field model, accounting...
