SEARCH Articles Figures Tables A - Coulomb repulsion between partly charged particles as the origin of electrostatic stabilization. B - Distribution of the surface charge and geometry of the electric field of the neutral metal sphere of radius R, when the adsorbate is a single external charge in the distance L from the centre. The electric potential of this system is equivalent to the superposition of the potential of an external point charge C and the induced dipole moment d.C- Attractive dipole-dipole interaction between electrically neutral metal particles.
