Cahn-Hilliard on Surfaces: A Numerical Study
Prerna Gera, David Salac
The Cahn-Hilliard system has been used to describe a wide number of phase separation processes, from co-polymer systems to lipid membranes. In this work the convergence properties…
Energy Variation of Soft Matter Interfaces
Prerna Gera, David Salac
The variation of energies associated with soft matter interfaces where surface inhomogeneities are present. These energies include the total bending and splay energy, the variable…
A Stabilized Diffuse-Interface Electroporation Model with a Semi-Analytical Spectral Electrolyte Solver
Saman Seifi, David Salac
We develop a diffuse-interface continuum model for membrane electroporation that couples a phase field for pore geometry to a quasi-static electrolyte potential and a spatially var…
Vesicles in magnetic fields
David Salac
Liposome vesicles tend to align with an applied magnetic field. This is due to the directional magnetic susceptibility difference of the lipids which form the membrane of these ves…
Stochastic Phase Segregation on Surfaces
Prerna Gera, David Salac
Phase separation and coarsening is a phenomenon commonly seen in binary physical and chemical systems that occur in nature. Often times, thermal fluctuations, modeled as stochastic…
