Description
We compare weak and strong coupling theory of counterion-mediated electrostatic interactions between two asymmetrically charged plates with extensive Monte-Carlo simulations. Analytical results in both weak and strong coupling limits compare excellently with simulations in their respective regimes of validity. The system shows a surprisingly rich structure in terms of interactions between the surfaces as well as fundamental qualitative differences in behavior in the weak and the strong coupling limits.
