Abstract: Domain formation and phase transitions are investigated in two-component membranes of planar topology in the strong-segregation limit. The composition of a membrane is coupled to the spontaneous curvature. The stability of various spatially periodic phases, formed by domains of one component, is examined systematically as a function of composition, the ratio of spontaneous curvatures of both components, and the surface tension. We nd new stable phases composed of one- and two-bead buds and new phase transition between these phases.
