7 Dec 1998 | | Subject: | Soft Condensed Matter | cond-mat.soft | | Abstract: | Based on density functional theory the influence of curvature on the depletion potential of a single big hard sphere immersed in a fluid of small hard spheres with packing fraction eta_s either inside or outside of a hard spherical cavity of radius R_c is calculated. The relevant features of this potential are analyzed as function of eta_s and R_c. There is a very slow convergence towards the flat wall limit R_c o infty. Our results allow us to discuss the strength of depletion forces acting near membranes both in normal and lateral directions and to make contact with recent experimental results. | | Source: | arXiv, cond-mat/9901044 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
