Diffusion coefficient of an inclusion in a liquid membrane supported by a solvent of arbitrary thickness
Kazuhiko Seki, Sanoop Ramachandran, Shigeyuki Komura
The diffusion coefficient of a circular shaped inclusion in a liquid membrane is investigated by taking into account the interaction between membranes and bulk solvents of arbitrar…
Charged bilayer membranes in asymmetric ionic solutions: Phase diagrams and critical behavior
N. Shimokawa, S. Komura, D. Andelman
We consider the phase separation in an asymmetrically charged lipid bilayer membrane consisting of neutral and negatively charged lipids that are in contact with in/out ionic solut…
Elasticity of smectic liquid crystals with focal conic domains
S. Fujii, S. Komura, Y. Ishii +1
We study the elastic properties of thermotropic smectic liquid crystals with focal conic domains (FCDs). After the application of the controlled preshear at different temperatures,…
Dynamics of a polymer chain confined in a membrane
Sanoop Ramachandran, Shigeyuki Komura, Kazuhiko Seki +1
We present a Brownian dynamics theory with full hydrodynamics (Stokesian dynamics) for a Gaussian polymer chain embedded in a liquid membrane which is surrounded by bulk solvent an…
Hydrodynamic coupling between two fluid membranes
Sanoop Ramachandran, Shigeyuki Komura
The coupled in-plane diffusion dynamics between point-particles embedded in stacked fluid membranes are investigated. We calculate the contributions to the coupling longitudinal an…
