Polyelectrolyte theory. I. Counterion accumulation, site‐binding, and their insensitivity to polyelectrolyte shape in solutions containing finite salt concentrations

We have computed the Poisson‐Boltzmann distribution of counterions around polyelectrolytes in solutions containing finite salt concentrations. The polyelectrolytes considered here are highly charged in the sense that ξ > 1, ξ being the linear charge density parameter for cylinders, which is generalized by us to other shapes.
