Abstract

A model consisting of hard charged spheres inside hard spherical pores is investigated by grand canonical ensemble Monte Carlo calculations. It is found that the mean ionic density profiles in the pores are almost the same when the wall of the pore is moderately charged as when it is uncharged. Also, a bulklike phase is found to be present at the center of the pores in surprisingly small systems. Finally, the Poisson–Boltzman approximation is discussed in the light of our Monte Carlo results.
