[Changes in the structure of lipid bilayer membranes in magnetic fields]

In terms of structural voluminous phases the structure of bilayer lipid membranes in the constant magnetic field far from the point of phase transition is examined. The field influence on the area of the membrane black part is due to surface tension of voluminous phases. It is noted that the effect is squared with the field and is negative under gomeotropic orientation of the molecules on the surface. The dependence of the effect on temperature is predicted and its possible mechanisms are examined.
