26. In order to express a single diffraction peak, we applied a mathematical expression comprising Gaussian and Lorentzian peak functions with the fraction of the Gaussian component of 0.5. It is simply because the combined expression was found to fit a diffraction peak well (Ref. 10). Namely, we have only such the technical reason. We do not mean that the Gaussian type was used for a peak from one phase (e.g., lamellae) while the Loretzian type was used for a peak from the other phase (e.g., gyroid). For both peaks from lamellae and gyroid, the combination of Gauss and Lorentz with the Gaussian fraction of 0.5 was equally employed.
