On the Free Energy of a Gaussian Membrane Model with External Potentials
TL;DR: In this article, the authors considered a class of d-dimensional Gaussian lattice fields, known as a semi-flexible membrane model, and studied the free energy of the model with external potentials.

Membrane Electrostatics—A Statistical Mechanical Approach to the Functional Density Theory of Electric Double Layer
TL;DR: In this paper, physical properties of the electric double layer composed of a charged surface in contact with a solution of counter-ions and coions representing nanoparticles are described using a statistical mechanical approach, and the consistently related expressions for the equilibrium ion and solvent distribution functions and the differential equation for the electric potential are derived by minimization of the elctrostatic free energy of the system.

Macroscopic electrostatic potentials and interactions in self-assembled molecular bilayers: The case of Newton black films
TL;DR: This model goes beyond the total dipole moment of the sample and includes higher order moments of this macroscopic electric field, and it is shown that by representing it with a superposition of Gaussians, it can be analytically integrated and therefore its calculation is easily implemented in a molecular dynamics simulation.
