54  
55 + I present a dissertation concerning the structural properties and
56 + phase behavior of lipid bilayers. At first, I investigated the system
57 + by using Monte Carlo simulations on a simple dipolar membrane
58 + model. Secondly, to obtain the dynamical properties of the ripple
59 + phase of lipid membranes, molecular dynamics simulations were
60 + performed on a more realistic molecular-scale lipid model. Finally, an
61 + algorithm of Langevin dynamics was developed to investigate the ripple
62 + phase in an implicit solvent environment.

80 < I would like to thank my advisor, Dr. Gezelter for his inspiring and
81 < encouraging way to guide me to a deeper understanding of molecular

88 < Jianguo Sun, and my mother, Yumei Lin, for unconditional support and
89 < encouragement to pursue my dreams, even when they went beyond
90 < boundaries of language and geography. My wife, Yingxin Jiang, for her
91 < understanding and love during the past few years. Her support and
92 < encouragement was in the end what made this dissertation possible.
