24. This assumption is probably justified for the polymer blend in the late stage of SD, but it is only approximately true for a bicontinuous microemulsion. For the latter, one may take A ≈ d. More precisely, the spectral function we introduced contains three length scales, although there may be some relations among them in real systems.
25. Scattering intensity in eq 14 should be expressed not only as a function of q but also as a function of time, t, for the polymer mixture; the phase separation of the system is a non-equilibrium process, and thus, a time-dependent process. Since, in the present study, the time evolution of the phase-separated structure is not the central issue, and we discuss the scattering intensity at a fixed time for the polymer blend, we simply write the scattering only as a function of q.
