Spinodal decomposition in nuclear molecular dynamics

Spinodal decomposition in multicomponent fluid mixtures: A molecular dynamics study.

Fragment Charge Correlations and Spinodal Decomposition in Finite Nuclear Systems

Enhanced production of events with almost equal-sized fragments is experimentally revealed by charge correlations in the multifragmentation of a finite nuclear system selected in Xe central collisions on Sn. The evolution of their weight with the incident energy: 32, 39, 45, 50 AMeV, is measured. Dynamical stochastic mean field simulations performed at 32 AMeV, in which spinodal instabilities a...

Spinodal decomposition of expanding nuclear matter and multifragmentation

Density fluctuations of expanding nuclear matter are studied within a mean–field model in which fluctuations are generated by an external stochastic field. The time evolution of the system is studied in a kinetic–theory approach. In this model fluctuations develop about a mean one–body phase–space density corresponding to a hydrodynamic motion that describes a slow expansion of the system. A fl...

Domain formation and growth in spinodal decomposition of a binary fluid by molecular dynamics simulations.

The two initial stages of spinodal decomposition of a symmetric binary Lennard-Jones fluid have been simulated by molecular dynamics simulations, using a hydrodynamics-conserving thermostat. By analyzing the growth of the average domain size R(t) with time, a satisfactory agreement is found with the R(t) proportional t1/3 Lifshitz-Slyozov growth law for the early diffusion-driven stage of domai...
