The role of spontaneous curvature in the formation of cell membrane necks
G. Torres-Vargas, F. Monroy, J. A. Santiago
The mechanical effects of membrane compositional inhomogeneities are analyzed in a process analogous of neck formation in cellular membranes. We cast on the Canham-Helfrich model o…
Moulding hydrodynamic 2D-crystals upon parametric Faraday waves in shear-functionalized water surfaces
Mikheil Kharbedia, Niccolò Caselli, Horacio López-Menéndez +2
Faraday waves (FWs), or surface waves oscillating at half of the natural frequency when a liquid is vertically vibrated, are archetypes of ordering transitions on liquid surfaces.…
Membrane stress and torque induced by Frank's nematic textures: A geometric perspective using surface-based constraints
J. A. Santiago, G. Chacón-Acosta, F. Monroy
An elastic membrane with embedded nematic molecules is considered as a model of anisotropic fluid membrane with internal ordering. By considering the geometric coupling between dir…
Phase-space dynamics of minimal Canham-Helfrich cells
Ana M. Maitin, Francisco Monroy
The dynamical phase-space of axisymmetric Canham-Helfrich (CH) cells is constructed from a Hamiltonian field recapitulating membrane curvature-elasticity and systemic restrictions.…
