Macroion effective charge in complex plasmas with regard to microion correlations

In the present paper, features of high-charged macroions screening by microions are analysed in classical asymmetrically charged complex plasmas. We consider a two-component electroneutral system of classical macroions and oppositely charged microions in a spherically symmetrical electroneutral Wigner-Seitz cell with a central macroion in its centre. The present paper is devoted to a problem of a relation between the effective macroion charge and an initial one with regard to a non-linear screening effect and microions correlations. We show how this relation changes with the number of the central macroion charge value on the rise. Characteristics of two different parts of the relation between the effective charge and the initial one are calculated. (© 2020 Wiley‐VCH GmbH)
