Stability of frozen waves in the Modified Cahn--Hilliard model    [PDF]

E. S. Benilov, W. T. Lee, R. O. Sedakov
We examine the existence and stability of frozen waves in diblock copolymers with local conservation of the order parameter, which are described by the modified Cahn--Hilliard model. It is shown that a range of stable waves exists and each can emerge from a `general' initial condition (not only the one with the lowest density of free energy). We discuss the implications of these results for the use of block copolymers in templating nanostructures.
