Nonequilibrium orientational patterns in two-component Langmuir monolayers.
A model of a phase-separating two-component Langmuir monolayer in the presence of a photoinduced reaction interconverting two components is formulated. An interplay between phase separation, orientational ordering, and reaction is found to lead to a variety of nonequilibrium self-organized patterns, both stationary and traveling. Examples of the patterns, observed in numerical simulations, incl...
متن کاملTraveling waves and nonequilibrium stationary patterns in two-component reactive langmuir monolayers.
A simple kinetic model of a two-component phase-separating Langmuir monolayer with a chemical reaction is proposed. Its analysis and numerical simulations show that nonequilibrium periodic stationary structures and patterns of traveling stripes can spontaneously develop. The nonequilibrium phase diagram of this system is constructed and the properties of the patterns are discussed.
متن کاملBond-orientational order in Langmuir-Blodgett surfactant monolayers
Cadmium stearate surfactant molecules assembled into monolayers by the Langmuir-Blodgett method exhibit bond-orientational order. Bond-orientational correlations extend over macroscopic distances on the order of a millimeter while translational correlations decay on a scale of tens of angstroms. The long axis of the molecules are tilted away from the surface normal but the tilt direction is dis...
متن کاملNonequilibrium pattern formation in chiral Langmuir monolayers with transmembrane flows
Studies of pattern formation in nonequilibrium soft matter are essential for understanding the operation of biological cells and for potential applications [1]. Biological membranes including active molecular pumps or channels can develop shape oscillations and show persistent wave propagation [2, 3]. If a membrane contains rotating molecular motors, interactions between them may lead to the de...
متن کاملSoliton-Stripe Patterns in Charged Langmuir Monolayers
We consider a charged Langmuir monolayer problem where electrostatic interaction forces undulations in molecular concentration of the monolayer. Using the Γ-convergence theory in singular perturbative variational calculus, we prove the existence of soliton-stripe lamellar patterns as one-dimensional local minimizers of the free energy, which are characterized by sharp domain walls delineating f...
