Comment on "Theory of spinodal decomposition"

Non-equilibrium theory of arrested spinodal decomposition.

The non-equilibrium self-consistent generalized Langevin equation theory of irreversible relaxation [P. E. Ramŕez-González and M. Medina-Noyola, Phys. Rev. E 82, 061503 (2010); 82, 061504 (2010)] is applied to the description of the non-equilibrium processes involved in the spinodal decomposition of suddenly and deeply quenched simple liquids. For model liquids with hard-sphere plus attractive ...

Comment on "Kinetics of spinodal decomposition in the Ising model with vacancy diffusion"

In a recent paper @Phys. Rev. B 50, 3477 ~1994!#, P. Fratzl and O. Penrose present the results of the Monte Carlo simulation of the spinodal decomposition problem ~phase separation! using the vacancy dynamics mechanism. They observe that the t growth regime is reached faster than when using the standard Kawasaki dynamics. In this Comment we provide a simple explanation for the phenomenon based ...

Spinodal decomposition in microemulsions

Dynamical density functional theory and its application to spinodal decomposition.

We present an alternative derivation of the dynamical density functional theory for the one-body density profile of a classical fluid developed by Marconi and Tarazona [J. Chem. Phys. 110, 8032 (1999)]. Our derivation elucidates further some of the physical assumptions inherent in the theory and shows that it is not restricted to fluids composed of particles interacting solely via pair potentia...
