Abstract
The Monte Carlo method is used to determine the structure of a very dilute colloid electrostatically stablized in a dilute aqueous electrolyte. The colloidal system is treated as a monodisperse collection of structureless spherical particles embedded in a continuous background. The calculated radial distribution functions are converted into structure factors which are subsequently compared with the corresponding quantity determined from laser light scattering experiments.Keywords
