We discuss two examples where short-range forces in electrolytes have a large effect on interfacial phenomena. In case of charged surfaces, short-range forces lead to a compact Stern layer that lowers apparent surface potential and at short surface separations results in the 'hydration force'. For free surfaces in electrolytes, the surface affinities of different anions and cations lead to the combination rules that determine the propensity for bubble coalescence in salty water.

A dynamic procedure in atomic force microscopy was employed to investigate the adhesion and the short-range interaction force between a silica sphere and a mica plate in pure water and LiCl and CsCl solutions. The long-range interaction force was independent of the dynamic procedure of measuring. On
The calculation of the deuteron disintegration in the Coulomb field of th~ nucleus can be accomplished in two limiting cases of "fast" and "slow" collisions. In the former case the time-of-flight of the deuteron through the Coulomb field (at distances corresponding to the proton momentum transfer s
For a fixed nonzero energy mismatch an adiabaticity factor of the order of one is shown to be necessary for large transfer probabilities to be predicted by a previously proposed semiclassical model for V-V transfer induced by short-range forces. For zero energy mismatches, the predicted contribution
