Experimental phase diagrams of four surfactants in water. "H" and "L sub alpha" stand for hexagonal and lamellar phases. "G" and "T" are gyroid cubic packing of spherical micelles, and "S" stands for crystalline solid. These diagrams are taken from the work of Clerc et al., Kekicheff and Tiddy, Arvidson et al., and Balmbra et al. For complete references, see Larson, J Phys. II 6:1441 (1996).
