Electromechanics of a membrane with spatially distributed fixed charges: Flexoelectricity and elastic parameters

Research output: Contribution to journal/Conference contribution in journal/Contribution to newspaperJournal articleResearchpeer-review

We investigate the electrostatic contribution to the lipid membrane mechanical parameters: tension, bendingrigidity, spontaneous curvature, and flexocoefficient, using an approach where stress in the membrane is explicitlybalanced. Our model includes an applied electrostatic potential as well as a charge distribution in the membrane.We apply our theory to membranes having surface charges and electric dipoles at the surface.
