Electrostatic coupling between two surfaces of a topological insulator nanodevice.
We report on electronic transport measurements of dual-gated nanodevices of the low-carrier density topological insulator (TI) Bi_{1.5}Sb_{0.5}Te_{1.7}Se_{1.3}. In all devices, the upper and lower surface states are independently tunable to the Dirac point by the top and bottom gate electrodes. In thin devices, electric fields are found to penetrate through the bulk, indicating finite capacitiv...
متن کاملCoupling between lipid shape and membrane curvature.
Using molecular dynamics simulations, we examine the behavior of lipids whose preferred curvature can be systematically varied. This curvature is imposed by controlling the headgroup size of a coarse-grained lipid model recently developed by us. To validate this approach, we examine self-assembly of each individual lipid type and observe the complete range of expected bilayer and micelle phases...
متن کاملCa induces clustering of membrane proteins in the plasma membrane via electrostatic interactions
Membrane proteins and membrane lipids are frequently organized in submicron-sized domains within cellular membranes. Factors thought to be responsible for domain formation include lipid–lipid interactions, lipid–protein interactions and protein–protein interactions. However, it is unclear whether the domain structure is regulated by other factors such as divalent cations. Here, we have examined...

متن کاملElectrostatic colloid-membrane complexation
– We investigate numerically and on the scaling level the adsorption of a charged colloid on an oppositely charged flexible membrane. We show that the long ranged character of the electrostatic interaction leads to a wrapping reentrance of the complex as the salt concentration is varied. The membrane wrapping depends on the size of the colloid and on the salt concentration and only for intermed...
