We study AB$_n$ miktoarm star block copolymers in the strong segregationlimit, focussing on the role that the AB interface plays in determining thephase behavior. We develop an extension of the kinked-path approach whichallows us to explore the energetic dependence on interfacial shape. We considera one-parameter family of interfaces to study the columnar to lamellartransition in asymmetric stars. We compare with recent experimental results. Wediscuss the stability of the A15 lattice of sphere-like micelles in the contextof interfacial energy minimization. We corroborate our theory by implementing anumerically exact self-consistent field theory to probe the phase diagram andthe shape of the AB interface.Comment: 12 pages, 11 included figure
