Distribution of Charges over the Surfaces of Charged Particles of Complex Shapes while Electrospraying.

A current topical area of condensed matter physics is research in the field of structured materials that contain structures of micro- and nanoparticles. Electrospray is widely used to obtain micro- and nanoparticles. It is known to allow particles of different geometric shapes to be obtained. The authors propose an analytical procedure for obtaining a new class of nontrivial analytical solutions to the electrostatics problem of charge distribution over the surfaces of particles that can form while electrospraying. Complex nontrivial forms of this class of surfaces are considered. Exact analytical formulas are obtained for the charge distribution density over the surfaces of particles. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
