\begin{abstract}

I present a dissertation concerning the structural properties and
phase behavior of lipid membranes. At first, I investigated the system
by applying the Monte Carlo simulations on a simple dipolar membrane
model. Secondly, to obtain the dynamics properties of the ripple phase
of lipid membranes, molecular dynamics simulations were performed to a
more realistic molecular lipid model. At last, an algorithm of
Langevin dynamics was developed to inquire into the ripple phase in
the implicit solvent environment by working with colleague.

\end{abstract}

\begin{dedication}

To my wife, for her unconditional support, and to my family, for their
providence of inspiriting 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. 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 other side of the ocean. And my wife, Yingxin,
this dissertation could not have been finished without her love.
