Collapsing transition of spherical tethered surfaces with many holes.

چکیده
We investigate a tethered (i.e., fixed connectivity) surface model on spherical surfaces with many holes by using the canonical Monte Carlo simulations. Our result in this paper reveals that the model has only a collapsing transition at finite bending rigidity, where no surface fluctuation transition can be seen. The first-order collapsing transition separates the smooth phase from the collapsed phase. Both smooth and collapsed phases are characterized by Hausdorff dimension H approximately 2 , consequently, the surface becomes smooth in both phases. The difference between these two phases can be seen only in the size of surface. This is consistent with the fact that we can see no surface fluctuation transition at the collapsing transition point. These two types of transitions are well known to occur at the same transition point in the conventional surface models defined on the fixed connectivity surfaces without holes.

Phase structure of a surface model with many fine holes.
We study the phase structure of a surface model by using the canonical Monte Carlo simulation technique on triangulated, fixed connectivity, and spherical surfaces with many fine holes. The size of a hole is assumed to be of the order of lattice spacing (or bond length) and hence can be negligible compared to the surface size in the thermodynamic limit. We observe in the numerical data that the...
متن کاملPhase transition of an extrinsic curvature model on tori
We show a numerical evidence that a tethered surface model with extrinsic curvature undergoes a first-order crumpling transition between the smooth phase and a nonsmooth phase on triangulated tori. The results obtained in this Letter together with the previous ones on spherical surfaces lead us to conclude that the tethered surface model undergoes a first-order transition on compact surfaces.
متن کاملPhase transitions of a tethered membrane model with intrinsic curvature on spherical surfaces with point boundaries
We found that the order for the crumpling transition of an intrinsic curvature model changes depending on the distance between two boundary vertices fixed on the surface of spherical topology. The model is a curvature one governed by an intrinsic curvature energy, which is defined on triangulated surfaces. It was already reported that the model undergoes a first-order crumpling transition witho...
متن کاملPhase structure of a spherical surface model on fixed connectivity meshes
An elastic surface model is investigated by using the canonical Monte Carlo simulation technique on triangulated spherical meshes. The model undergoes a first-order collapsing transition and a continuous surface fluctuation transition. The shape of surfaces is maintained by a one-dimensional bending energy, which is defined on the mesh, and no two-dimensional bending energy is included in the H...
متن کاملPhase transitions of an intrinsic curvature model on dynamically triangulated spherical surfaces with point boundaries
An intrinsic curvature model is investigated using the canonical Monte Carlo simulations on dynamically triangulated spherical surfaces with two fixed vertices separated by distance 2L. We found a first-order transition at finite curvature coefficient α, and moreover that the order of transition remains unchanged even when L is enlarged such that the surfaces become sufficiently oblong. This is...
