Liquid crystalline order and its impact on shape evolution of fluid lipid membranes
Ingo Nitschke, Maik Porrmann, Axel Voigt
Dynamic approaches to minimize the classical curvature-elasticity free energy for a fluid lipid membrane, are extended towards a Surface Beris--Edwards--Helfrich model. This extens…
Surface Phase-Field-Crystal-Helfrich model for out-of-plane deformations in thin crystalline sheets with lattice mismatch
Emma Radice, Ingo Nitschke, Marco Salvalaglio +1
Thin, flexible crystalline sheets exhibit unique elastic properties due to their ability to undergo out-of-plane deformations. Understanding this behavior requires a description th…
Scalar Truesdell Time Derivative and -- Surface Gradient Flows
Rainer Backofen, Ingo Nitschke, Axel Voigt
We address surface gradient flows which allow for energy dissipation by evolving the surface and a scalar quantity on it, simultaneously. A proper choice of the time derivative and…
