title: On Gyroid Interfaces
abstract: We use Brakke's Surface Evolver to construct a family of intersection-free triply periodic surfaces with constant mean curvature. The gyroid family models various physical interfaces. We calculate area and volume along the family, compare it with the Schwarz P and D families, and discuss the general problem of a comparison of triply periodic morphologies.
