(a)–(d) Relations between the L 1-domain size (measured in unit ) and the normalized line tension t ′ = t / t c on a cylindrically curved membrane for (a) ϕ = 0.5, (b) ϕ = 0.4, (c) ϕ = 0.3, and (d) ϕ = 0.01; (e) relations between and t ′ on a spherically curved membrane for ϕ = 0.01(≪ 1). The (blue) thick solid and dashed lines correspond to K 1 = 2 K 2 and K 1 = K 2/2, and the (red) thin solid and dashed lines correspond to K 1 =1.2 K 2 and K 1 = K 2/1.2, respectively. We have set C 1 = C 2.
