Abstract

The effect of magnetic field on lipid bilayers has been a subject of interest to experimentalists in recent years. Here we examine a fluctuation model of reactive bilayer membranes, taking into view the composition-curvature correlation in the presence of a homogeneous magnetic field. We show how the strength of the magnetic field in combination with the intensity of reaction induces instability into the system, at times leading to stationary pattern formation.
