•The dipolaron is a complex formed by finite size ions and polar solvent molecules.•The theory of dipolaron solutions is formulated.•The screening effects for permanent and field-induced dipolarons are analyzed.
A fundamental task of statistical physics is to predict the system’s statistical properties and compare them with observable data. We formulate the theory of dipolaron solutions and analyze the screening effects for permanent and field-induced dipolarons. The mathematical treatment of the collective behavior and microscopical morphology of dipolaron solutions are discussed. The presented computations show that the electric field shielding of dipolarons in dielectric nanosolutions is quite different from that of counterionic nano-complexes of Debye–Hückel theory of electrolytes. The limiting case of screening length λ=0λ=0 in dipolaron solutions corresponds to Coulomb’s law for the potential and field of uniformly charged sphere.
