Effects of scars on crystalline shell stability under external pressure
Duanduan Wan, Mark J. Bowick, Rastko Sknepnek
We study how the stability of spherical crystalline shells under external pressure is influenced by the defect structure. In particular, we compare stability for shells with a mini…
Active swarms on a sphere
Rastko Sknepnek, Silke Henkes
Here we show that coupling to curvature has profound effects on collective motion in active systems, leading to patterns not observed in flat space. Biological examples of such act…
Nonlinear elastic model for faceting of vesicles with soft grain boundaries
Rastko Sknepnek, Monica Olvera de la Cruz
We use an elastic model to explore faceting of solid-wall vesicles with elastic heterogeneities. We show that faceting occurs in regions where the vesicle wall is softer, such as a…
A curvature-driven effective attraction in multicomponent membranes
Matthew F. Demers, Rastko Sknepnek, Monica Olvera de la Cruz
We study closed liquid membranes that segregate into three phases due to differences in the chemical and physical properties of its components. The shape and in-plane membrane arra…
