(a) Dynamic structure factor and (b) corresponding for soft surfactant vesicles composed of 20/80 CTAT/SDBS at a total surfactant mass fraction of 2% with a radius of 24 nm. (c) Dynamic structure factor from rigid vesicles composed of DPPC containing a mole fraction of 50% cholesterol extruded to give a radius of 35 nm and (d) corresponding best fit values. Solid lines in (a) and (c) are fits with equations (2) and (4) to (6) , while dashed lines contain only the diffusive contribution. The extra decay due to membrane undulations is almost negligible in the data for the DPPC vesicles containing cholesterol (c). Error bars represent one standard deviation. |
