Abstract
Chapter 10 deals with the statics and dynamics of systems of charged particles: ionic liquids (electrolyte solutions and molten salts) and liquid metals. The key feature of such systems is the infinite range of the bare electrostatic interaction, which leads to Debye screening and charge ordering effects; screening can be quantified by macroscopic (longwavelength) considerations. Integral equation approximations give reasonable results for the pair structure and thermodynamics of ionic liquids. Frequency-dependent electric response is studied by use of extension of the techniques introduced in Chapter 8 and density functional theory is used to characterise the structure of electric double-layers near charged surfaces. The structure and dynamics of liquid metals, which are two-component systems of classical cations and a quantum fluid of degenerate conduction electrons, are briefly reviewed.
