1. M. Takeda, K. Maruyama, R. Akiyama and T. Miyata, Integral equation study of effective attraction between like-charged particles mediated by cations: Comparison between IPY2 and HNC closures, EPL (Europhys Letter), doi: 10.1209/0295-5075/ac94f5, 140, 17001-p1-17001-p7, 2022.10, Effective interactions between like-charged particles immersed in an electrolyte solution were calculated using two integral equation theories, hypernetted-chain (HNC)-Ornstein-
Zernike (OZ) and ionic Percus-Yevick 2 (IPY2)-OZ. When the HNC-OZ theory was adopted, the electrolyte concentration dependence of the effective interaction showed a reentrant behavior. By contrast, the IPY2-OZ theory did not indicate the behavior. Monte Carlo simulations were performed for one of the model systems, and the results agreed qualitatively with those calculated using the HNC-OZ theory..

Coexisting densities were calculated at various electrolyte concentrations using the thermodynamic perturbation expansion method with effective one-component models. The effective potentials were obtained using an integral equation theory for liquids. Some model effective potentials were examined. The calculated results indicated that the reentrant behaviors of various acidic protein solutions observed in the experiments required not only the nonmonotonic dependence of the short-range attraction on the electrolyte concentration, but also the absence of a long repulsive tail..
10. Ayano Chiba, Akio Oshima, Ryo Akiyama, Confined Space Enables Spontaneous Liquid Separation by Molecular Size
Selective Absorption of Alkanes into a Polyolefin Cast Film, Langmuir, 10.1021/acs.langmuir.9b02509, 35, 52, 17177-17184, 2019.12, The depletion force has been used to explain phase separation phenomena in colloidal systems. Here, we showed that depletion force can explain not only phase separation of large and small colloidal particles but also preferential absorption of larger molecules from a mixture of large and small molecules in a liquid state. When a polyolefin cast film was immersed in a mixture of long and short normal alkanes, the longer molecules were selectively absorbed into the film. This experimental result was explained from the viewpoint of depletion force. The main finding was the use of confined space to emphasize the separation tendency caused by the force. In general, the increase in entropy may serve as a driving force to mix molecules. However, if sufficiently narrow pores are present, large and small molecules are separated naturally by size as the entropy increases. This finding will lead to size exclusion chromatography of low-mass molecules, similar to gel permeation chromatography of macromolecules. In order to demonstrate the effect of depletion force, we selected and experimented with a system based on a polyolefin isotactic poly(4-methyl-1-pentene) (P4MP1) film and a normal alkane mixture and realized high molecular selectivity. The P4MP1 film we used can be prepared simply by evaporating the solvent from the solution and casting the film. On the basis of the Asakura-Oosawa theory, we concluded that spontaneous and high molecular selectivity is attributed to the depletion force provided by the small sub-nanopores with uniform size in the film..
11. Ken Tokunaga, Ryo Akiyama, Molecular dynamics study of a solvation motor in a Lennard-Jones solvent, Physical Review E, 10.1103/PhysRevE.100.062608, 100, 6, 062608-1-062608-8, 2019.12, The motions of a solvation motor in a Lennard-Jones solvent were calculated by using molecular dynamics simulation. The results were analyzed considering the large spatial scale effects caused by the motion of the solvation motor. A reaction site was located on the surface of the solvation motor and the attraction between the reaction site and the solvent molecules was varied for 100 fs. The motion of the motor was driven by solvation changes near the reaction site on the motor. Two finite-size effects were observed in the motion. One was the hydrodynamic effect and the other was the increase in solvent viscosity caused by heat generation. The latter affected not only the displacement of the motor caused by the reaction but also the wave propagation phenomena. Both effects reduced the motor displacement. Heat generation affects the displacement, in particular for small systems. By contrast, the hydrodynamic effect remained even for large systems. An extrapolation method was proposed for the displacement..

Results of an integral equation theory with an accurate bridge function and a Monte Carlo simulation, Journal of Chemical Physics, 10.1063/1.5100040, 151, 4, 044506-1-044506-10, 2019.07, Solute-solvent reduced density profiles of hard-sphere fluids were calculated by using several integral equation theories for liquids. The traditional closures, Percus-Yevick (PY) and the hypernetted-chain (HNC) closures, as well as the theories with bridge functions, Verlet, Duh-Henderson, and Kinoshita (named MHNC), were used for the calculation. In this paper, a one-solute hard-sphere was immersed in a one-component hard-sphere solvent and various size ratios were examined. The profiles between the solute and solvent particles were compared with those calculated by Monte Carlo simulations. The profiles given by the integral equations with the bridge functions were much more accurate than those calculated by conventional integral equation theories, such as the Ornstein-Zernike (OZ) equation with the PY closure. The accuracy of the MHNC-OZ theory was maintained even when the particle size ratio of solute to solvent was 50. For example, the contact values were 5.7 (Monte Carlo), 5.6 (MHNC), 7.8 (HNC), and 4.5 (PY), and the first minimum values were 0.48 (Monte Carlo), 0.46 (MHNC), 0.54 (HNC), and 0.40 (PY) when the packing fraction of the hard-sphere solvent was 0.38 and the size ratio was 50. The asymptotic decay and the oscillation period for MHNC-OZ were also very accurate, although those given by the HNC-OZ theory were somewhat faster than those obtained by Monte Carlo simulations..
13. Ayumi Suematsu, Takuto Sawayama, and Ryo Akiyama, Effective potential between negatively charged patches on acidic proteins immersed in various electrolyte solutions, The Journal of Chemical Physics, doi: 10.1063/1.5038912, 149, 074105-1-8, 2018.08, Effective interactions between O-sized anions in various electrolyte solutions were calculated by using
the integral equation theory with some simple models. The results indicated that only multivalent
cations mediated a strong effective attraction between O-sized anions at a certain concentration. The
effective interaction turned from repulsive to attractive as the electrolyte concentration increased,
and the effective attraction decreased when more electrolyte was added. Moreover, the effective interactions between O-sized anions in the electrolyte solution did not present a long repulsive tail, although the effective attraction caused by the divalent cations appeared. By contrast, the effective attraction mediated by monovalent cations and the reentrant behavior did not appear and the effective interaction was basically repulsive. These behaviors agree with the experimental results for reentrant condensation of acidic proteins in various electrolyte solutions. The calculated results suggest that the dissociated carboxylic acidic groups on the proteins form attractive patches between proteins under certain concentration conditions..
