Three-phase coexsistence with sequences partitioning in symmetric random block copolymers

We inquire into the possible coexistence of macroscopic and microstructured phases in random Q-block copolymers built of incompatible monomer types A and B with equal average concentrations. In our microscopic model, one block comprises M identical monomers. The block-type sequence distribution is Markovian and characterized by the correlation λ. Upon increasing the incompatibility χ (by decreasing temperature) in the disordered state, the known ordered phases form: for λ>λ(c), two coexisting macroscopic A- and B-rich phases, for λ
