Dynamics of phase separation in confined two-component fluid membranes

摘要

We investigate the dynamics of phase separation in two-component fluid membranes confined between parallel and rigid bounding plates. Through numerical simulation, we find a considerably slow coarsening of the order parameter field within the time region we studied. In particular, a microphase separation is obtained as an equilibrium phase for sufficiently large values of the elastic coupling, which is in agreement with the previous mean-field analysis.
