Line tension and coalescence in heterogeneous membranes

Membrane inhomogeneity gives rise to a perturbation energy that may be manifested as line tension between regions of different compositions. Here we calculate the perturbation energy of a phase-separated fluid membrane composed of domains embedded in a continuous phase and relate it to the line tens...
