Front Propagation in the Pearling Instability of Tubular Vesicles
R. E. Goldstein, P. Nelson, T. Powers +1
Recently Bar-Ziv and Moses discovered a dynamical shape transformation induced in cylindrical lipid bilayer vesicles by the action of laser tweezers. We develop a hydrodynamic theo…

Dynamic Theory of Pearling Instability in Cylindrical Vesicles
Philip Nelson, Thomas Powers, Udo Seifert
We give a simple theory for recent experiments of Bar-Ziv and Moses% Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf73} (1994) 1392, in which tubular vesicles are excited using laser tweezers to a ``perista…

Rigid Chiral Membranes
Philip Nelson, Thomas Powers
Statistical ensembles of flexible two-dimensional fluid membranes arise naturally in the description of many physical systems. Typically one encounters such systems in a regime of…
