Thermal crumpling of perforated two-dimensional sheets
Thermal crumpling of perforated two-dimensional sheets
Abstract Thermalized elastic membranes without distant self-avoidance are believed to undergo a crumpling transition when the microscopic bending stiffness is comparable to kT , the scale of thermal fluctuations. Most potential physical realizations of such membranes have a bending stiffness well in excess of experimentally achievable temperatures and are therefore …
