Abstract
We investigate the sedimentation equilibrium of a charge stabilized colloidal suspension in the regime of low ionic strength. We analyze the asymptotic behaviour of the density profiles on the basis of a simple Poisson--Boltzmann theory and show that the effective mass we can deduce from the barometric law corresponds to the actual mass of the colloidal particles, contrary to previous studies.Keywords
