Poisson-Fermi Formulation of Nonlocal Electrostatics in Electrolyte Solutions

We present a nonlocal electrostatic formulation of nonuniform ions and water molecules with interstitial voids that uses a Fermi-like distribution to account for steric and correlation efects in electrolyte solutions. The formulation is based on the volume exclusion of hard spheres leading to a ster...
