Abstract:Triply periodic continuous morphologies arising a result of the microphase separation in block copolymer melts have so far never been observed self-assembled in systems of particles with spherically symmetric interaction. We report a molecular dynamics simulation of two simple onecomponent liquids which self-assemble upon cooling into equilibrium orthorhombic continuous network morphologies with the F ddd space group symmetry reproducing the structure of those observed in block copolymers. The finding that the… Show more
