Volume Functions

A general numerical algorithm is proposed for the fast computation of the common volume function (CVF) of any polyhedral object, from which the diffraction pattern of a corresponding powder can be obtained. The theoretical description of the algorithm is supported by examples ranging from simple equilibrium shapes in cubic materials (Wulff polyhedra) to more exotic non-convex shapes, such as tripods or hollow cubes. Excellent agreement is shown between patterns simulated using the CVF and the corresponding ones calculated from the atomic positionsviathe Debye scattering equation.

Membrane Adhesion

Curvature elasticity is used to derive the equilibrium conditions that govern the mechanics of membrane–membrane adhesion. These include the Euler–Lagrange equations and the interface conditions which are derived here for the most general class of strain energies permissible for fluid surfaces. The theory is specialized for homogeneous membranes with quadratic ‘Helfrich’-type energies with non-uniform spontaneous curvatures. The results are employed to solve four-point boundary value problems that simulate the equilibrium shapes of lipid vesicles that adhere to each other. Numerical studies are conducted to investigate the effect of relative sizes, osmotic pressures, and adhesion-induced spontaneous curvature on the morphology of adhered vesicles.

The Relationship

So far, two methods are often used in solving the equilibrium shapes of vesicles. One method is by starting with the general shape equation and restricting it to the shapes with particular symmetry. The other method is by assuming the symmetry and topology of the vesicle first and treating it with the calculus of variation to get a set of ordinary differential equations. The relationship between these two methods in the case of cylindrical vesicles, and a comparison of the results are given.
