Title: High genus periodic gyroid surfaces of nonpositive Gaussian curvature
Abstract: In this paper we present a novel method for the generation of periodic surfaces of nonpositive Gaussian curvature. The structures are to the local minima of the scalar order parameter Hamiltonian for microemulsions. The method is used to six unknown surfaces of 1a (3) over bar d symmetric (gyroid) of 21, 53, 69, 109, 141, and 157 per unit cell. All of them but that genus 21 an most likely the minimal surfaces. The Schoen-Luzzati gyroid minimal surface of genus 5 (per unit cell) is also obtained.
