Influence of surface tension in the surfactant-driven fracture of closely-packed particulate monolayers
Christian Peco, Wei Chen, Yingjie Liu +3
A phase-field model is used to capture the surfactant-driven formation of fracture patterns in particulate monolayers. The model is intended for the regime of closely-packed system…
Stability and buckling of flat circular configurations of closed, intrinsically nonrectilinear filaments spanned by fluid films
T. M. Hoang, Eliot Fried
We explore how the stability and buckling behavior of a flexible but inextensible loop spanned by a liquid film in a flat circular configuration is influenced by the intrinsic shap…
Microphysical derivation of the Canham--Helfrich free-energy density
Brian Seguin, Eliot Fried
The Canham--Helfrich free-energy density for a lipid bilayer has drawn considerable attention. Aside from the mean and Gaussian curvatures, this free-energy density involves a spon…
Theory for atomic diffusion on fixed and deformable crystal lattices
Eliot Fried, Shaun Sellers
We develop a theoretical framework for the diffusion of a single unconstrained species of atoms on a crystal lattice that provides a generalization of the classical theories of ato…
