Title: Ions in an AC Electric Field: Strong Long-Range Repulsion between Oppositely Charged Surfaces
Abstract: Two oppositely charged surfaces separated by a dielectric medium attract other. In contrast we observe a strong repulsion between two plates a capacitor that is filled with an aqueous electrolyte upon of an alternating potential difference between the plates. long-range force increases with the ratio of diffusion coefficients the ions in the medium and reaches a steady state after a few which is much larger than the millisecond timescale of across the narrow gap. The repulsive force, an order of stronger than the electrostatic attraction observed in the setup in air, results from the increase in osmotic pressure as a of the field-induced excess of cations and anions due to lateral transport from adjacent reservoirs.
