Stable closed equilibria for anisotropic surface energies: Surfaces with edges
ثبت نشده
چکیده
We study the stability of closed, not necessarily smooth, equilibrium surfaces of an anisotropic surface energy for which the Wulff shape is not necessarily smooth. We show that if the Cahn Hoffman field can be extended continuously to the whole surface and if the surface is stable, then the surface is, up to rescaling, the Wulff shape. 2010 AMS classification: 49Q10

Equilibria for anisotropic bending energies
We study a variational problem involving an anisotropic bending energy for surfaces. Surfaces with boundary and closed equilibria are discussed.
متن کاملStability of anisotropic capillary surfaces between two parallel planes
We study the stability of capillary surfaces without gravity for anisotropic free surface energies. For a large class of rotationally symmetric energy functionals, it is shown that the only stable equilibria supported on parallel planes are either cylinders or a part of the Wulff shape.
متن کاملOn Surfaces of Prescribed F-Mean Curvature
Hypersurfaces of prescribed weighted mean curvature, or F -mean curvature, are introduced as critical immersions of anisotropic surface energies, thus generalizing minimal surfaces and surfaces of prescribed mean curvature. We first prove enclosure theorems in R for such surfaces in cylindrical boundary configurations. Then we derive a general second variation formula for the anisotropic surfac...
متن کاملEquilibria for anisotropic surface energies with wetting and line tension
We study the stability of surfaces trapped between two parallel planes with free boundary on these planes. The energy functional consists of anisotropic surface energy, wetting energy, and line tension. Equilibrium surfaces are surfaces with constant anisotropic mean curvature. We study the case where the Wulff shape is of a special type of “product form”, that is, its horizontal sections are a...
متن کاملOxygen Adsorption on CdSe Surfaces: Case Study of Asymmetric Anisotropic Growth through ab Initio Computations
Asymmetric anisotropic growth in wurtzite based II-VI semiconductors has been exploited in the past to create a diversity of nanocrystal shapes and topologies. Here, we present a methodology, based on ab initio calculations, to assess the circumstances (i.e., chemical environments) under which anisotropic and asymmetric growth could occur in terms of the ordering and magnitude of the surface en...
