39. 33 End a small minimum in the binding potential at finite D over the entire range of incompatibility, leading to a three-phase coexistence between a lamellar phase and two homopolymer-rich phases. The minimum is, however, so weak that thermal fluctuations can easily overcome this minimum, and therefore, it is immaterial for our Monte Carlo results.
