Deformation and orientational order of chiral membranes with free edges
Lijie Ding, Robert A. Pelcovits, Thomas R. Powers
Motivated by experiments on colloidal membranes composed of chiral rod-like viruses, we use Monte Carlo methods to determine the phase diagram for the liquid crystalline order of t…

Shapes of fluid membranes with chiral edges
Lijie Ding, Robert A. Pelcovits, Thomas R. Powers
We carry out Monte Carlo simulations of a colloidal fluid membrane composed of chiral rod-like viruses. The membrane is modeled by a triangular mesh of beads connected by bonds in…
