Charge Fluctuations in Nanoscale Capacitors,
D.T. Limmer, C. Merlet, M. Salanne, D. Chandler, P.A. Madden, R. van
Roij, and B. Rotenberg,
Phys. Rev. Lett. 111, 106102 (2013)
In this Letter we describe computer siumations of ionic liquids confined
between two planar Carbon electrodes kept at a fixed voltage difference,
such that the electrode charge fluctuates. The charge distribution, the
liquid structure, and the differential capacitance of this capacitor are
computed.
