A life in Science: In memory of Jean-Pierre Badiali
This issue is devoted to the memory of Jean-Pierre Badiali who passed away on April 15, 2016.
His death is a great loss to all of us and to the whole scientific community. We express our deepest
condolences to the family of Jean-Pierre Badiali, colleagues and friends. Jean-Pierre will remain in our
memory as an outstanding scientist and an incredibly amiable person.
Jean-Pierre Badiali was born on October 20, 1941 in Mirande in the Midi-Pyrenées region in France.
He graduated as an engineer from the Ecole Supérieure d’Electricité in 1965. He then entered the Centre
National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS) as “Stagiaire de recherches”. In 1969 he prepared a PhD
“Contribution à l’étude des processus de relaxation électrique dans les solutions électrolytiques. Relations
avec la solvatation et l’association ionique”.1 He worked in the CNRS research group “Physics of Liquids
and Electrochemistry”, directed by Prof. I. Epelboin. More specifically, he joined the team led by Dr. J.C.
Lestrade, with the main objective to investigate the dielectric properties of electrolyte solutions. In 1967,
he obtained a permanent position in the CNRS as a young scientist attaché de recherches. In 1980, he
became Research Director in CNRS (at the timemaître de recherches). He became the youngest Research
Director in his laboratory.
In 1987, he received the “Silver Medal” of the CNRS for his contributions. And in the same year, he
created the laboratory Structure and Reactivity at Interfaces (SRI) and directed it till 1991. The laboratory
combined three teams. Two teams were more experimental, with focus on soft matter research subjects
like wetting, Langmuir monolayers, micelles, colloids and electrochemistry. Jean-Pierre Badiali was in
charge of the third team of theoreticians with different topics related to interfacial statistical physics,
field theory. The challenge was to associate a theoretical and two experimental groups. These teams were
directed by F. Brochard-Wyart, the second by M.P. Pileni. He has been four times elected as a member
of the National Committee of the CNRS in the Section “Molecules: Structure and Interactions” and also
president of this section between 1995 and 2000. He became First class research director in 1988. He
then codirected the team “Energétique et Réactivité aux Interfaces” — Université Pierre et Marie Curie

with P. Letellier and then the team “Theory of Interfaces” in the “Laboratoire d’Electrochimie et Chimie
Analytique” of the Ecole Nationale Supérieure de Chimie de Paris and Université P. et M. Curie. In 2001,
he became research director of exceptional class. Jean-Pierre was also member of the Scientific council
of the ISMANS2 engineer school from 1994 to 2010 and member of the board since 1996 until the end.
From his education, Jean-Pierre can be said to be an engineer in science. Due to his excellent scien-
tific culture, communicative enthusiasm and insightful intuitions, Jean-Pierre worked in many different
scientific domains including some very fundamental problems in quantum and statistical mechanics as
well as some important applied research. When confronting a new field, Jean-Pierre first sought a broad
view of the problem, reading relevant literature in order to propose some simple synthetic model which
took into account the main features of the studied systems. He used to say that even a simple model could
have a complex and rich behaviour. In scientific discussions, he was customary to introducing provocative
questions which stimulated exchanges and would finally lead to a better understanding of the obtained
results. In such a case, he would smile and said “Je suis Jean-provocateur”.
Jean-Pierre Badiali started his research as an experimentalist.3 His PhD was aimed at measuring the
dielectric properties of electrolytes in different solvents and mixtures. Hubert Cachet gives a testimony
of Jean-Pierre’s results during this early period [1]. A contribution on solvent mixtures can be found
in this issue [2]. We have found some documentation of this period (figure 1). The different problems
studied in electrochemistry, directed Jean-Pierre into developing statistical mechanical approaches for
the description of the liquid state (liquids and also liquid metals) with a particular interest on systems
with long range interactions (Coulombic, dipolar) and inhomogeneous systems (interfaces). However,
we will see that his interests were much broader, we will see that they also include lithium batteries
and corrosion problems. As mentioned in [1], developing a comprehensive study of the properties of
the electrical interface, urged Jean-Pierre to also consider the metal contribution to the differential
capacitance of the electrode/electrolyte systems. With coworkers he obtained important results for liquid
metals (see [3], for example). Recent developments in the study of liquid metals are presented by two
previous students of Jean-Pierre, Christian Régnaut and Saïd Amokrane [4]. In the 1970s, he spent several
months in Syracuse University working with J. Goodisman. Together they rederived the fundamental
Lippman equation, the Gibbs adsorption isotherm for an ideally polarisable electrode from the modern
tools of statistical mechanics rather than from thermodynamics lifting some ambiguities and providing
microscopic foundations [5–7]. An ideally polarisable electrode is shown to behave as a pure capacitance
also under alternating current. Providing exact, deeper foundations to important relations is an example
of the rigour of Jean-Pierre’s scientific approach. Valuable results were then obtained for the ideally
polarizable electrode including metal and solution contributions [8].
For another class of long range interactions, dipolar interactions, he then obtained fundamental results

A life in Science: In memory of Jean-Pierre Badiali
on dipolar liquids at interfaces. Studying density and orientation profiles at an interface [9–11], Jean-
Pierre showed that a polar liquid at a planar interface is spontaneously birefringent as a consequence of the
image potential which creates an alignment of the molecules leading to a spontaneous Kerr effect [12, 13]
which can be observed in ellipsometry measurements. Some new results on dipolar systems are given in
this issue by Dominique Levesque and by a former student of Jean-Pierre, Vincent Russier [14, 15].
The interest for long range interactions triggered the study of the long range correlations, typically
investigating critical phenomena. Similar to his microscopic derivation of the Lipmann equations, Jean-
Pierre was searching for an alternative description of the critical state avoiding the phenomenological
Landau-Ginzburg Hamiltonian (LGH) based on symmetries to adopt quantities based directly on micro-
scopies quantities [16, 17]. The so-called coupling constants of the critical field in the LGH are now
integrals of the direct correlation functions. These integrals are related to thermodynamic quantities and
are related to one another by the so-called Baxter relations which he discovered to be the equivalent of
the Ward-Takahashi relations in field theory [18]. The study of the properties of the correlation functions
at the critical point led him to rederive the basic Griffith-Kelly-Sherman correlation inequalities in the
context of the liquid state [19].
The study of critical phenomena with the use of field theory prompted Jean-Pierre into investigating
the possibility of a generic field theory framework for the liquid state to be applied, in particular, to ionic
systems characterised by the long range Coulomb interactions. In the developed field theory approach
similar to collective variables theory [20], the description of the system is given in the density fluctuation
space, and the Hamiltonian of the system is presented as a sum of the interaction part and the ideal
entropy part [21–24]. This approach was rather intuitive at the beginning but later the strong connection
between field theory approach and collective variables theory was found [25, 26]. It was shown that
the entropic term in the field theory is connected with the Jacobian of the transformation from the
individual coordinates of particles to collective variables. The proposed expression for the entropic term
in field theory is exact for the Jacobian in the case of point particles. The application of the field theory
approach to inhomogeneous ionic fluids [27] shows that as a consequence of the entropic term, there is a
strong coupling between the charge and the density fluctuations which leads to an ionic depletion at the
neutral surface. This coupling is overlooked in well known approximations such as the Mean Spherical
Approximation (MSA). Some other entropic effects for ionic systems are discussed in [28]. Comparison
of the related Gaussian approaches and density functional theory approach (DFT) is also presented in
this issue [29].
Jean-Pierre also discovered many other interesting phenomena in the field of electrochemistry. An
intriguing result is the explanation of a special property of the electric differential capacitance. Experi-
mentally, in the differential capacitance there was observed a portion of the curves that is independent of
the nature of the ions. Jean-Pierre showed that this could be understood from a simple model based on a
field theory, which is a generalization of the Gouy-Chapman theory taking into account specific interac-
tions. In a mean field-like approach, the solution can be cast in a series of differential equations which
have a one-parameter Lie group structure. This leads to predicting a desorption transition which explains
that the capacitance curves for a given polarization are independent of the nature of the counterion, these
having desorbed and no longer having specific interactions with the charged interface [30].
A new promising approach for the investigation of adsorption of fluids on crystalline surfaces was
proposed by Jean-Pierre Badiali with coworkers in 1986 [31]. In this paper, the interface between a
structural solid and a liquid is modelled by a flat surface with sticky sites placed on a regular lattice.
After averaging over the fluid configurations, the model was mapped into a two-dimensional lattice-gas
model with the interaction energies of the particles on the sites related to the mean force potential in an
inhomogeneous fluid. For the simple case of a fluid of hard spheres, it was shown that the first layer of
a fluid at contact with the solid can exhibit an order-disorder phase transition which can be interpreted
as cooperative adsorption. Later this theory was generalized into associative fluids [32–34] where it
was shown that due to the competition between intraparticle and interparticle correlations, a cooperative
adsorption can appear at very small fluid densities. This phenomenon was used to explain an anomalous
adsorption of polymers in the diluted-semidiluted concentration regime [35] and to clarify the mechanism
of low-pressure insertion and separation of chain-like molecules in host matrices [36]. Together with
coworkers Jean-Pierre generalized the approach to non-rigid surface. As a result, it became possible to
investigate the modification of a surface by an adsorbent. It was shown that the presence of an adsorbent
30101-3
may induce distortive and roughening transitions on the underlaying substrate. A structural rearrangement
of the surface and some other complex phenomena due to competing adsorbent-substrate interactions
were observed [37–39]. Within the framework of this research, the effect of ice films morphology on
HCl uptake was investigated as a possible mechanism of chlorine accumulation in polar stratospheric
clouds [40, 41].
Another important aspect of these activities is connected with the investigations of the physics
associatedwith intercalation of ions into hostmatrices. In these investigations, Jean-Pierre with coworkers
extensively used the fact that an insertion process can be considered as a 3D adsorption. For the first time,
they took into account the fact that a change of the volume of the host material may have a strong effect
on the insertion mechanism. Employing the lattice gas model combined with the linear elasticity theory,
they argued that major features of intercalation isotherms can be well understood in terms of the link
between configurational and structural transitions [42–44]. The developed theory provides a quantitative
description of different insertion processes and was used for the interpretation of the experiments in
different experimental groups [45–47]. A natural extension of this research was connected with the
investigation of the insertion of ions into a deformable host material. As a result, a link between electrical
and mechanical properties was found. Such a link appears in the ion insertion processes, in the case of
hydrogen sorption in pure metal or alloys as well as in the charging/discharging processes developed
in polymers grafted on a metallic surface. This represents a new field of investigations associated with
anomalous diffusion and possibly with non-standard thermodynamics.
Amongst theoretical works by Jean-Pierre in the theory of the electrical double layer, we also note
a new exact relation for the charge profile or the so-called contact theorem [48, 49]. It establishes an
exact expression for the contact value of the charge profile. The contact theorem for the density profile
was known more than 30 years before [50, 51]. It is simple and local. The contact relation for the charge
profile is far less intuitive and emphasizes the non-local character of the long range Coulomb interaction.
The contact theorem for the charge profile triggered interesting papers and mediated scientific exchanges
[52]. In his interest for charges at interfaces, Jean-Pierre also considered other aspects such as non-planar
interfaces (modulated interfaces), or the presence of adsorbed species [53–55]. Different new results on
the properties of the double layer are also presented in this issue [56–58].
Jean-Pierre also worked in close connection with experiments. For instance, for the description of
the influence of proteins on some experimental features of inverse micelles embedding cytochrome-c, a
simple model of associative sticky hard spheres was proposed [59, 60]. In the framework of this model,
the stickness parameter and the size of hard spheres were found from small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS)
measurements for empty micelles. The associative parameter was found from SAXS measurements for
the micelles embedding protein. As a result, in the framework of the proposed model with one fitting
parameter, it became possible to reproduce the main effects induced by the solubilization of cytochrome-c
in reverse micelles, namely the change of the structure factor, the shift of the percolation threshold as
well as the shift of the critical point for the liquid-liquid phase transition.
In the 90’s, Jean-Pierre started working on lithium batteries and had ties and contracts with SAFT
(Société des Accumulateurs Fixes et de Traction, company specialised in batteries) and the DRET
(Direction des Recherches et Etudes Techniques). This work was very successful and opened up new
directions in his research [62–64]. Starting from real problems connected with the properties of lithium
batteries, he performed extensive simulations on the evolution of interfaces such as those that can be
found in corrosion associated with metal dissolution or oxide growth. Due to numerous economical
and environmental consequences, research in corrosion is a crucial subject which has been studied for
centuries and owing to its complexity has been approached with several different viewpoints. Amongst
its specificities, we note that it involves not only electrochemical anodic and cathodic reactions at the
metal/solution interface. It spawns the paradoxical phenomenon of passivation-accelerating oxidation
kinetics which may result in a decrease in the overall corrosion rate due to the formation of a protective
layer, the so-called passive layer. With the experience gained from exploring the site poisoning effects in
the study of lithium batteries, Jean-Pierre developed a mesoscopic description of corrosion based on a
stochastic cellular automata (CA) description. In this framework, he was able to include the important
characteristic features such as the diffusion of constituents, reactants and the spatial separation of anodic
and cathodic reaction. His intuition was that, although the process at the local scale can be described
by simple, elementary CA evolution rules, at a larger scale, collectively, there can be a subtle interplay
30101-4

between these phenomena and the overall morphology of the interfaces [61]. As a result, complex kinetics
may emerge, the understanding ofwhich is crucial in predicting the durability of the device. In this context,
topological characterization of the interface is important. One can consider the roughness factor or the
mean-square deviation of the front line from its mean position [65] and also what Jean-Pierre called the
chemical roughness related to the number of reactive sites. Developed in two dimensions [66–73], these
models are still being developed by collaborators and the recent results on corrosion are presented in this
issue [74, 75] as well as complex disorder media, porous systems studies [76, 77]. Jean-Pierre considered
corrosion as a method to produce new materials and worked in this spirit to see how it is possible to
describe the formation of organized structures on a surface from the theoretical point of view [73]. This
perspective is also presented in the issue [75] as well as in an experimental work [78].
Some of the recent works by Jean-Pierre and by his coworkers are related to the description of
experimental facts related to the nuclear accident at Chornobyl (Ukraine). An example of this domain of
investigation is presented in one of the last papers of Jean-Pierre published in this issue [79].
Works on lithium batteries also stimulated the interest of Jean-Pierre to fundamental problems related
to the entropy of complex systems and non-extensive media. Statistical properties of such systems were
studied within a combination of the maximum information principle and the super-statistical approach
with parametrized information entropy measures such as Tsallis or Renyi [80–82]. This approach was
developed for the investigation of the processes such as aging in lithium batteries.
During the last decades, Jean-Pierre Badiali worked a lot on many different fundamental problems
of quantum and statistical physics. They concern the foundations of statistical mechanics via the path
integral formalism and the Feynman conjecture, fractal behaviour of quantum systems [83, 84], the
role of discreteness of space-time for quantum and statistical mechanics [85, 86]. The introduction of
a quantized space-time shows that the thermodynamics is consistent with the equation of motion that
is time-irreversible at microscopic level. As a result, the derivation of a H-theorem becomes possible.
The relation between action and entropy was illustrated in the case of black holes [87]. These researches
open up the possibility of a new description of irreversible chemical reactions, the investigations of
chemical reactions in small systems [88–91]. Different aspects and novelty of the last scientific works by
Jean-Pierre are discussed in this issue by P. Riot and A. Le Méhauté [92].
In his scientific career, Jean-Pierre Badiali paid significant attention toworkingwith young researchers
and to collaborating with other scientific groups. He directed fourteen PhD thesis which included four
Thèses d’Etat (old regime long research doctorates 5–7 years). Most of his students had prestigious
careers, became professors of Universities, research directors in CNRS, engineers. . . . Due to a broad
domain of activities, Jean-Pierre had many scientific collaborations with different groups in France
as well as outside France. He had good collaboration with the Orsay group in computer simulations
(Dominisque Levesque, Jean-JacquesWeiss, Jean-Michel Caillol), theUniversité d’Evry (Annie Chausse,
Richard Messina, Christine Vautrin-Ul). During his scientific career, he visited many scientific centres
in the world and had permanent scientific collaboration with them. Between them there is the Institute
for Condensed Matter Physics (ICMP) of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine (NASU). A
continuous and fruitful collaboration of Jean-Pierre Badiali with ICMP has been going on since 1991.
He was an active participant of various joint international projects with ICMP. Jean-Pierre Badiali was
a member of the Editorial Board of the “Condensed Matter Physics” journal. According to the decision
of the Scientific Council of the ICMP of NAS of Ukraine from December 20, 2013 the title of Doctor
honoris causa was conferred to Jean-Pierre Badiali for the basic results which provided explanation and
description of various types of phenomena in electrochemistry, surface science and soft matter, for the
development of new successful approaches in statistical mechanics as well as for his personal initiatives
and participation in different projects aimed at strengthening collaboration between France and Ukraine.
Jean-Pierre had also fruitful collaboration with Sasha Filipov from Physico-Technical Institute of NASU
in Donetsk as well as very fruitful collaborations with the Institute of Physical Chemistry of the Polish
Academy of Sciences (Janusz Stafiej, Zofia Borkowska), the Frumkin Institute for Electrochemistry
of Russian Academy of Sciences (Misha Vorotyntsev and Sasha Kuznetsov), with different scientific
centres in Germany (Frank Forstmann from Freie Universität Berlin, Wolfgang Schmickler from Ulm
University), Puerto Rico University (Lesser Blum), Universidade Federal Fluminense in Brasil (Fabio
Aarão Reis), Université Libre de Bruxelles (Claudine Buess-Herman and Mireille Poelman), and many
others scientific centres.

Jean-Pierre Badiali was a very good Teacher. For some of his coworkers he was a scientific pater, for
others he has been a guide in Science or a companion. But for everybody he will remain in their memory
as an excellent scientist and reliable friend. J. Goodisman has words of his collaboration with Jean-Pierre
which echo many colleagues’ feelings: an excellent and perspicacious scientific mind and also on a
personal level is Jean-Pierre’s “calme et douceur” (calm and sweetness) and his care in never offending,
or saying a bad word about anyone. He was a remarkably lovely person. Everyone he encountered here
was charmed by his personality and impressed by his science. He was in the strongest and most literal
sense a real gentle man (un homme vraiment noble).
