Effects of the dielectric discontinuity on the counterion distribution   in a colloidal suspension
  We introduce a new method for simulating colloidal suspensions with spherical colloidal particles of dielectric constant different from the surrounding medium. The method uses exact calculation of the Green function to obtain the ion-ion interaction potential in the presence of a dielectric discontinuity at the surface of the colloidal particle. The new method is orders of magnitude faster than the traditional approaches based on series expansions of the interaction potential.
