Membrane Stretching Elasticity of Lipid Vesicle and Thermal Shape Fluctuations
arXiv:1712.09911 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevE.100.022416
Abstract
One of the most widely used methods for determination of the bending elasticity modulus of model lipid membranes is the analysis of the shape fluctuations of nearly spherical lipid vesicles. The theoretical basis of this analysis is given by Milner and Safran. In their theory the stretching effects are not considered. In the present study we generalized their approach including the stretching effects deduced after an application of statistical mechanics of vesicles.
