The size selection of nanodots during the growth is studied by using a reaction kinetic model, where reaction rates depend on the dot size. The characteristic feature of the reaction rates is the energetics, where the free energy of dots has a minimum at the certain dot size. The model equations...

This article explores global geometric features of bicontinuous space-partitions and their relevance to self-assembly of block-copolymers. Using a robust definition of `local channel radius', based on the concept of a medial surface [Schröder et al., Eur. Phys. J. B <Emphasis Type="Bold">35, 551 (2003)], we...</emphasis>

Balanced infinite periodic minimal surface families that contain the cubic Gyroid (G), Diamond (D) and Primitive (P) surfaces are studied in terms of their global packing and local curvature properties. These properties are central to understanding the formation of mesophases in amphiphile and...
