摘要：
The gyroid phase in diblock copolymers at strong segregation was stabilized. The intriguing topology of the network structure has inspired a diverse array of potential applications ranging from high-performance separation membranes to photonic crystals. The pressure field enforces incompressibility, while the exchange field is conjugate to the composition pattern in the melt. The Laplacian operator is treated implicitly with a fourth-order backward differentiation formula (BDF4), whereas the source term is discretized explicitly using fourth-order accurate Adams-Bashford.
