FIG. 11.

(a) Geometry of the bilayer partially wrapping a NP with D = 20 nm at the inflection point of the graph of the degree of wrapping, z, vs $\mathcal{E}$ (violet data in Fig. 10) for the case of interaction range λ = 1.0r_m. In (b)–(d), the dotted lines correspond to the configuration of the bilayer at the top of the branch of weakly wrapped states and the solid lines correspond to the configuration of the bilayer at the bottom of the branch of strongly wrapped states. (b)–(d) correspond to the case of λ = 0.75, 0.25, and 0.01r_m, respectively. The graph on the left shows z for the case of λ = 1.0r_m and λ = 0.25r_m.
