Characteristic parameters of lipid bilayers.

Phase	$\overline{l}\left({\mathrm{\sigma }}_{\text{LJ}}\right)$	d (σLJ)	$A\left({\mathrm{\sigma }}_{\text{LJ}}^2\right)$	Sz
Fluid	3.3	5.48	1.68	0.42
Gel	3.8	7.64	0.96	0.72
Interdigitated	4	4.8	1.8	0.98

$\overline{l}$ denotes the average chain length, d thickness of the bilayer, A area per lipid, and S_z chain order parameter.
