(a1) The free energy F, (a2) the interfacial energy U, (a3) the amphiphile entropy Sa, and (a4) the solvent entropy Ss as functions of the side length L, for amphiphiles (20/80) with f = 0.18. The marks from panels (b1)–(b8) denote the 8 specific morphologies of the system, whose different structures have been shown in panels (b1)–(b8). The density distributions of the head parts of the amphiphiles, ϕh, are sequentially shown in panels (b1)–(b8), which correspond to the 8 states marked in the energy curves of the left column. The white squares schematically denote the square-shaped particles with different sizes. |
