## Abstract A theoretical orderβdisorder model for the main phase transition of lipid monolayers is presented here. The model contains approximate treatments of hardβcore repulsions and attractive forces between molecules. The lipid molecules are assumed as the square plates and then the entropy of

Recent experimental studies of lateral diffusion of lipid molecules in bilayers using single-molecule detection techniques (Schlitz et al., 1997. Biophysical J. 73:1073-1080), gave rise to speculation about confinement effects due to anomalous diffusion. Here we report a computer simulation study of
In this paper, the influence of electrodes on the orientations of the dipole heads of lipids in a monolayer is modelled. Each molecule is represented by an electric dipole lying on the monolayer plane. Each dipole is subject to the electric field generated by both the other dipoles and the electrode
