Abstract

Liposome vesicles tend to align with an applied magnetic field. This is due to the directional magnetic susceptibility difference of the lipids which form the membrane of these vesicles. In this work a model of liposome vesicles exposed to magnetic field is presented. Starting from the base energy of a lipid membrane in a magnetic field, the force applied to the surrounding fluids is derived. This force is then used to investigate the dynamics of vesicle in the presence of magnetic fields.
