When cubic phase is dispersed in to small particles, these particles are termed as cubosomes.

The parameters of the cubic phase are listed in the infobox.

These spheres may also be connected to one another, forming a bicontinuous cubic phase.

As described above, this hexagonal phase originates from a cubic phase, and thus one may expect a similar structural element in these phases.

Both network structures are almost the same that allows intergrowth of the hexagonal phase in the cubic phase.

All of the phases exhibit the ferroelectric effect except the cubic phase.

In the cubic phase, Ba is located at the center of the cube, with a nominal coordination number of 12.

A few percentage of the oxides of calcium or yttrium stabilize the cubic phase.

Often this intermediate phase is a bicontinuous cubic phase.

Temperature, salts, detergents, various additives are used in this system to tailor the cubic phase to suit the target protein.
