Critical Casimir effects in 2D Ising model with curved defect lines

This work is aimed at studying the influence of critical Casimir effects on energetic properties of curved defect lines in the frame of 2D Ising model. Two types of defect curves were investigated. We start with a simple task of globule formation from four-defect line. It was proved that an exothermic reaction of collapse occurs and the dependence of energy release on temperature was observed. Critical Casimir energy of extensive line of constant curvature was also examined. It was shown that its critical Casimir energy is proportional to curvature that leads to the tendency to radius decreasing under Casimir forces. The results obtained can be applied to proteins folding problem in polarized liquid.Comment: 9 pages, 15 figure
