abstract = {Twist grain boundaries in bicontinuous cubic surfactant
phases are studied by employing a Ginzburg-Landau model of
ternary amphiphilic systems. 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.},
