Abstract
We propose to identify the new "intermediate" morphology in subsaturation nuclear matter observed in a recent quantum molecular dynamics simulation with the ordered bicontinuous double-diamond structure known in block copolymers. We estimate its energy density by incorporating the normalized area-volume relation given in a literature into the nuclear liquid drop model. The resulting energy density is higher than the other five known morphologies.
