\begin{abstract}

I present a dissertation concerning the structural properties and
phase behavior of lipid bilayers. At first, I investigated the system
by using Monte Carlo simulations on a simple dipolar membrane
model. Secondly, to obtain the dynamical properties of the ripple
phase of lipid membranes, molecular dynamics simulations were
performed on a more realistic molecular-scale lipid model. Finally, an
algorithm of Langevin dynamics was developed to investigate the ripple
phase in an implicit solvent environment.

\end{abstract}

\begin{dedication}

To my wife, for her unconditional support, and to my family, for
providing inspiration and happiness.

I would like to thank my advisor, J.~Daniel Gezelter, who guided me
into the field of my interests, helped me complete all of the work
with his great patience and broad knowledge. I am also grateful to my
colleagues Teng Lin, Charles F.~Vardeman II, Shenyu Kuang, Chunlei Li,
Christie Puglis, Patrick Holvey, Matthew A.~Meineke, Christopher
J.~Fennell, Yang Zheng, Kyle Daily, Kyle S.~Haygarth, Jennifer Morton,
who were always here for technical support and helpful suggestions. I
would also like to thank the members in my advisory commitee, Dennis
C.~Jacobs, Gregory V.~Hartland, and S.~Alex Kandel for their
disscusion and review of my dissertation. I would also like to thank
Dr.~Steven Corcelli for the useful comments. Finally, I would like to
thank my family: my father, Jianguo Sun, and my mother, Yumei Lin, for
their understanding and support on the distant side of the world. And
my wife, Yingxin, this dissertation could not have been finished
without her love.
