Orientationally ordered aggregates of stiff polyelectrolytes in the presence of multivalent salt

Aggregation of stiff polyelectrolytes in solution and angle- and distance-dependent potential of mean force between two like-charged rods are studied in the presence of 3-valent salt using molecular dynamics simulations. In the bulk solution, formation of long-lived metastable structures with simila...
