Calculations are performed on a discrete real-space lattice with periodic boundary conditions for the lamellar L(alpha), gyroid G, diamond D, and the Schwarz P phases for various twist angles. An isosurface analysis of the scalar order parameter reveals the structure of the surfactant monolayer at the interfaces between the oil-rich and water-rich regions. The curvature distributions show that the grain boundaries are minimal surfaces. The interfacial free energy per unit area is determined as a function of the twist angle for the G, D, P, and lamellar phases using two complementary approaches: the Ginzburg-Landau free-energy functional and a geometrical approach based on the curvature energy of a monolayer. For the L(alpha), G, and D phases the interfacial free energy per unit area is very small, has the same order of magnitude, and exhibits a nonmonotonic dependence on the twist angle. The P phase is found to be unstable with respect to the nucleation of grain boundaries.}, keywords = {J (WoSType)}, cin = {IFF-2 / JARA-HPC}, ddc = {540}, cid = {I:(DE-Juel1)VDB782 / $I:(DE-82)080012_20140620$}, pnm = {Kondensierte Materie}, pid = {G:(DE-Juel1)FUEK414}, shelfmark = {Physics, Atomic, Molecular $\&$ Chemical}, typ = {PUB:(DE-HGF)16}, pubmed = {pmid:19355769}, UT = {WOS:000265053200060}, doi = {10.1063/1.3096987}, url = {https://juser.fz-juelich.de/record/4228}, }
