Hexatic order and surface ripples in spherical geometries.
In flat geometries, two-dimensional hexatic order has only a minor effect on capillary waves on a liquid substrate and on undulation modes in lipid bilayers. However, extended bond-orientational order alters the long-wavelength spectrum of these ripples in spherical geometries. We calculate this frequency shift and suggest that it might be detectable in lipid bilayer vesicles, at the surface of...
متن کاملHexatic undulations in curved geometries.
We discuss the influence of two-dimensional hexatic order on capillary waves and undulation modes in spherical and cylindrical geometries. In planar geometries, extended bond-orientational order has only a minor effect on the fluctuations of liquid surfaces or lipid bilayers. However, in curved geometries, the long-wavelength spectrum of these ripples is altered. We calculate this frequency shi...
متن کاملSpiral Waves in Circular and Spherical Geometries
In this thesis we prove the existence of m-armed spiral wave solutions for the complex Ginzburg-Landau equation in the circular and spherical geometries. Instead of applying the shooting method in the literature, we establish a functional approach and generalize the known results of existence for rigidly-rotating spiral waves. Moreover, we prove the existence of two new patterns: frozen spirals...
متن کاملFluctuations in membranes with crystalline and hexatic order
2014 We study the interplay between crystalline (or hexatic) order and thermal fluctuations in membranes with vanishing surface tension. If the connectivity of the crystalline state is preserved, the membrane remains uncrumpled at low temperatures. When dislocations are allowed, however, screening of elastic stresses by buckling reduces dislocation energies, and promotes dislocation unbinding. ...
متن کاملStatistical models on spherical geometries.
We use a one-dimensional random walk on D-dimensional hyper-spheres to determine the critical behavior of statistical systems in hyper-spherical geometries. First, we demonstrate the properties of such a walk by studying the phase diagram of a percolation problem. We find a line of second and first order phase transitions separated by a tricritical point. Then, we analyze the adsorption-desorpt...
