Surface Tension and Surface Energy of Curved Interfaces and Membranes
In this work we develop the basic idea that the mechanical properties of a curved Gibbsian dividing surface are characterized, not only by the surface tension, but also by surface moments. It is shown that an additional surface bending moment term is to be introduced in the interfacial balance of the force moments at a spherical dividing surface. The existence of surface bending moment leads to...

متن کاملScalar Product Method in Statistical Mechanics of Boundary Tension
The interphase excess free energy a due to an interphase boundary (IPB) is calculated in the Ising model using the Scalar Product (SP) method. Different from the "sum" method calculation of a based on the boundary profile, the SP approach skips the profile and directly evaluates a from the equilibrium properties of the homogeneous phases meeting at the boundary. Using a series of Cluster Variat...
متن کاملWater surface tension modulates the swarming mechanics of Bacillus subtilis
Many Bacillus subtilis strains swarm, often forming colonies with tendrils on agar medium. It is known that B. subtilis swarming requires flagella and a biosurfactant, surfactin. In this study, we find that water surface tension plays a role in swarming dynamics. B. subtilis colonies were found to contain water, and when a low amount of surfactin is produced, the water surface tension of the co...
متن کاملMicrocanonical determination of the interface tension of flat and curved interfaces from Monte Carlo simulations.
The investigation of phase coexistence in systems with multi-component order parameters in finite systems is discussed and, as a generic example, Monte Carlo simulations of the two-dimensional q-state Potts model (q = 30) on L × L square lattices (40 ≤ L ≤ 100) are presented. It is shown that the microcanonical ensemble is well suited both to find the precise location of the first-order phase ...
