Line tensions, correlation lengths, and critical exponents in lipid membranes near critical points.
Membranes containing a wide variety of ternary mixtures of high chain-melting temperature lipids, low chain-melting temperature lipids, and cholesterol undergo lateral phase separation into coexisting liquid phases at a miscibility transition. When membranes are prepared from a ternary lipid mixture at a critical composition, they pass through a miscibility critical point at the transition temp...
متن کاملCritical Exponents near a Random Fractal Boundary
The critical behaviour of correlation functions near a boundary is modified from that in the bulk. When the boundary is smooth this is known to be characterised by the surface scaling dimension x̃. We consider the case when the boundary is a random fractal, specifically a self-avoiding walk or the frontier of a Brownian walk, in two dimensions, and show that the boundary scaling behaviour of the...
متن کاملDynamics and Transport near Quantum-critical Points
The physics of non-zero temperature dynamics and transport near quantum-critical points is discussed by a detailed study of the O(N)symmetric, relativistic, quantum field theory of a N -component scalar field in d spatial dimensions. A great deal of insight is gained from a simple, exact solution of the long-time dynamics for the N = 1 d = 1 case: this model describes the critical point of the ...
متن کاملCritical dynamics in multicomponent lipid membranes.
The formation and dynamics of spatially extended compositional domains in multicomponent lipid membranes both in vivo and in vitro lie at the heart of many important biological and biophysical phenomena. While the thermodynamic basis for domain formation has been explored extensively in the past, the roles of membrane and exterior fluid hydrodynamics on domain formation kinetics have received l...
متن کاملCritical point fluctuations in supported lipid membranes.
In this paper, we demonstrate that it is possible to observe many aspects of critical phenomena in supported lipid bilayers using atomic force microscopy (AFM) with the aid of stable and precise temperature control. The regions of criticality were determined by accurately measuring and calculating phase diagrams for the 2 phase L(d)-L(o) region, and tracking how it moves with temperature, then ...
