Electric charge redistribution in a two dimensional two component plasma for $\Gamma = 2$ induced by two impurities: a dimensional reduction

TL;DR

This study investigates how electric impurities influence charge distribution in a two-dimensional two-component plasma at a specific coupling, using a novel dimensional reduction method and numerical simulations.

Contribution

It introduces a dimensional reduction technique to analyze charge redistribution in a 2D plasma with impurities at b3=2, providing new numerical insights.

Findings

Opposite charges accumulate near impurities due to electric fields.

Same sign charges are repelled and gather at the box borders.

Net density shows an almost linear relation near impurities.

Abstract

In this document the density of electrically-charged positive and negative particles in a two component plasma (TCP) will be studied. Particularly, we focus on a two dimensional system confined in a large rectangular box for $\Gamma=2$ in the presence of two electric impurities. A method for solution, which will be called, {\it dimensional reduction}, will be applied in order to study the redistribution of electrically charged particles along the line joining both impurities. Numerical results, by means of a finite elements method approach, show, due to the electric field generated by the impurities, an increase in the density of charges of opposite sign in the neighborhood of each impurity. On the other hand, the presence of charges of the same sign diminishes in the same region due to the existing electric repulsion; some of the repelled particles accumulate in the border of the box. Numerical expansions around the borders of the impurities and the box show an almost linear power law relation of the net density for the particular cases that have been analyzed. It is also studied how the maximum and minimum values of the net density depend on the electric charges of the impurities, under some particular conditions.
