The profile of the neutral surface near the raft boundary. The monolayer shape is plotted as h(x) − (hr + hs)/2. The numerical values thus provide, in Å, the deviation of monolayer height from the average thickness of the raft and surround. The dotted line indicates the underformed, step-like raft boundary. For the flexible raft (curve 1), Br = Bs = 10 kT and Kr = Ks = 10 kT/nm2. For the perfectly firm raft (curve 2), Br → ∞ and Kr → ∞. In both cases, δ = 5 Å.
