(a) w of the vesicle with the C60 concentration of 4.6% at equilibrium. The first vesicle is the initial spherical one. The second and third ones are under the vertical pressures of 8p0 and 20p0, respectively. Color code as used in Fig. 1. Water and carbohydrate tails of lipids are not shown for clarity. (b) The relation between the geometric parameter R of the vesicle with different C60 concentrations and the vertical pressure. The vertical pressure p is scaled by ambient pressure p0, and R is normalized by the radius of the initial vesicle R0. (c) Dependence of the bending modulus of DPPC bilayer on the C60 concentration. (d) Dependence of the spontaneous curvature of DPPC bilayer on the C60 concentration. In (c) and (d), symbols are the results from our simulations, and solid lines indicate linear fitting with the equations aside. |
