Abstract
Surface models with many rigid plates are investigated by using the canonical Monte Carlo simulation technique. The small rigid plates are included on the triangulated surfaces and are considered to be an analogue of heterogeneous components in membranes. The assumed sizes of rigid plates are negligible compared to the surface size in the thermodynamic limit Three types of density for the total number of rigid plates are assumed. By fixing rigid plates on both ends of the surface, we find that it is possible to calculate the string tension σ and the dependence of a on the distance L between two fixed rigid plates.
