Shape stability of pasta phases: Lasagna case [HEAP]

http://arxiv.org/abs/1705.09570


The stability of periodically placed slabs (lasagna phase) by exact geometrical methods is examined for the first time. Although the calculations are done in the framework of compressible liquid drop model the obtained results do not depend on model parameters. It appears the shape of slabs is stable in the whole range of volume fraction and perturbation wavelengths. The conclusion questions about the transition mechanism to other shapes of pasta phases.
