The electrostatic interaction between two nonidentical, moderately charged colloids situated in close proximity of each other at a fluid interface is studied. By resorting to a well-justified model system, this problem is analytically solved within the framework of linearized Poisson-Boltzmann density functional theory. The resulting interaction comprises a surface and a line part, both of which, as functions of the interparticle separation, show a rich behavior including monotonic as well as nonmonotonic variations. In almost all cases, these variations cannot be captured correctly by using the superposition approximation. Moreover, expressions for the surface tensions, the line tensions and the fluid-fluid interfacial tension, which are all independent of the interparticle separation, are obtained. Our results are expected to be particularly useful for emulsions stabilized by oppositely charged particles.
