The Poisson ratio of crystalline surfaces
Marco Falcioni, Mark Bowick, Emmanuel Guitter, Gudmar Thorleifsson
Abstract
A remarkable theoretical prediction for a crystalline (polymerized) surface is that its Poisson ratio (σ) is negative. Using a large scale Monte Carlo simulation of a simple model of such surfaces we show that this is indeed true. The precise numerical value we find is (σ -0.32) on a (1282) lattice at bending rigidity (kappa = 1.1). This is in excellent agreement with the prediction (σ= -1/3) following from the self-consistent screening approximation of Le Doussal and Radzihovsky.
