Field-Theoretic Simulations for Block Copolymer Melts Using the Partial Saddle-Point Approximation

Field-theoretic simulations (FTS) provide an efficient technique for investigating fluctuation effects in block copolymer melts with numerous advantages over traditional particle-based simulations. For systems involving two components (i.e., A and B), the field-based Hamiltonian, <inline-formula&...
