摘要
By using the grand canonical Monte Carlo simulations on spherical surfaces with two fixed vertices separated by the disc tance L. we find that a second-order phase transition changes to a first-order one when L is sufficiently large. We find that string tension sigma not equal 0 in the smooth phase while or sigma --> 0 in the wrinkled phase. (C) 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
