The Kerr effect on vesicle-likedroplets (vesicles, cells or emulsion droplets) is described. Wegive a derivation of the Kerr constant for a dielectric fluiddroplet immersed in another fluid, assuming that the droplet in aweak electric field becomes a prolate ellipsoid. The Kerr constantis evaluated also for a droplet covered by a membrane of nonzerothickness. Comparing the theory with the experiment on dropletmicroemulsions from the literature, the bending rigidity constantof the surface layer is estimated.
描述了克尔效应在类囊泡液滴(囊泡、细胞或乳液滴)上的情况。我们推导了浸没在另一种流体中的介电液滴的克尔常数,假设该液滴在弱电场中变为长椭球体。还对被非零厚度膜覆盖的液滴的克尔常数进行了评估。将该理论与文献中关于液滴微乳液的实验进行比较,估算了表面层的弯曲刚度常数。
