Geometric methods in the elastic theory of membranes in liquid crystal phases

Tác giả: Ou-Yang Zhong-Can, Liu Ji-Xing, Xie Yu-Zhang

Contains a comprehensive description of the mechanical equilibrium and deformation of membranes as a surface problem in differential geometry. Following the pioneering work by W. Helfrich, the fluid membrane is seen as a nematic or smectic - a liquid crystal film and its elastic enegy form is ...
