Avatars of the gyroid

M. Schick

Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications, 1998, vol. 251, issue 1, 1-11

Abstract: The unusual gyroid phase is described in three different amphiphilic systems. The way in which its existence can be understood in terms of surfaces of constant mean curvature is reviewed, as is the manner in which it can actually be accounted for by standard models of diblock copolymers solved within self-consistent field theory.
