abstract = {Biomembranes are key objects of numerous studies in biology
and biophysics of great importance to medicine. A few
nanometers thin quasi two-dimensional liquid crystalline
membranes with bending rigidity of a few kT exhibit unusual
properties and they are the focus of theoretical and
experimental physics. The first order chain-melting phase
transition of lipid membranes is observed to be accompanied
by a pseudocritical behavior of membrane physical-chemical
properties. However, the investigation of the nature of the
anomalous swelling of a stack of lipid membranes in the
vicinity of the transition by different groups led to
conflicting conclusions about the level of critical density
fluctuations and their impact on the membrane softening.
Correspondingly, conclusions about the contribution of
Helfrich’s undulations to the effect of swelling were
different. In our work we present a comprehensive
complementary neutron small-angle and spin-echo study
directly showing the presence of significant critical
fluctuations in the vicinity of the transition which induce
membrane softening. However, contrary to the existing
paradigm, we demonstrate that the increased undulation
forces cannot explain the anomalous swelling. We suggest
that the observed effect is instead determined by the
dominating increase of short-range entropic repulsion.},
