Fluctuation-induced forces in stacked fluid membranes
Overview & Synopsis
We present a new entropic interaction between foreign inclusions (e.g. proteins) confined to fluid membranes in a layered phase. This interaction arises from the coupling of thermal shape fluctuations to the variation in rigidity associated with the presence of inclusions. The force between inclusions exhibits interesting nonmonotonic behaviour as a function of the separation distance. At large separation, we find a weak power law attraction between inclusions of similar composition.
