The situation of the metastable phase decay on the several types of heterogeneous centers is considered. The iteration procedure is formulated and with the help of the avalanche consumption property all iterations can be calculated. The…
We show that a liquid mixture in the thermodynamically stable homogeneous phase can undergo a phase-separation transition when rotated at sufficiently high frequency $\omega$. This phase-transition is different from the usual case where two…
We examine statics and dynamics of phase-separated states of dilute binary mixtures using density functional theory. In our systems, the difference in the salvation chemical potential $\Delta\mu_s$ between liquid and gas is considerably…
"Fluid polyamorphism" is the existence of different condensed amorphous states in a single-component fluid. It is either found or predicted, usually at extreme conditions, for a broad group of very different substances, including helium,…
Structural materials are broadly used in applications such as nuclear vessels, high-temperature processes, and civil construction. Usually, during their placing and lifespan, they may present free or chemically bonded liquid phases in their…
The selection of an equilibrium state by maximising the entropy of a system, subject to certain constraints, is often powerfully motivated as an exercise in logical inference, a procedure where conclusions are reached on the basis of…
Elastic interactions arising from a difference of lattice spacing between two coherent phases can have a strong influence on the phase separation (coarsening) of alloys. If the elastic moduli are different in the two phases, the elastic…
Singularities in macroscopic systems at discontinuous phase transitions are replaced in finite systems by sharp but continuous changes. Both the energy differences between metastable and stable phases and the energy barriers separating…
We investigate binary mixtures undergoing phase separation after a second (deeper) temperature quench into two- and three-phase coexistence regions. The analysis is based on a lattice theory previously developed for gas-liquid separation in…
There is increasing evidence that entropy can induce microphase separation in binary fluid mixtures interacting through hard particle potentials. One such phase consists of alternating two dimensional liquid-like layers of rods and spheres.…
Recent experimental results indicate that phosphorus, a single-component system, can have two liquid phases: a high-density liquid (HDL) and a low-density liquid (LDL) phase. A first-order transition between two liquids of different…
A system of a metastable phase with several sorts of the heterogeneous centers is considered. An analytical theory for the process of condensation in such a system is constructed in dynamic conditions. The free energy of formation of the…
We study the solid-to-liquid transition in a two-dimensional fully periodic soft-glassy model with an imposed spatially heterogeneous stress. The model we consider consists of droplets of a dispersed phase jammed together in a continuous…
Motility-induced phase separation, MIPS, is arguably the most well-studied collective phenomenon occurring in active matter without alignment interactions (scalar active matter). Its basic origin is simple: since self-propelled particles…
Active particles may undergo phase separation when interactions oppose self-propulsion, in the absence of any cohesive forces. The corresponding Motility-Induced Phase Separation (MIPS) is arguably the simplest non-trivial collective…
We theoretically study mixtures of chemically-interacting particles, which produce or consume a chemical to which they are attracted or repelled, in the most general case of many coexisting species. We find a new class of active phase…
Imaging transparent samples remains an ongoing challenge in the study of unstained biological cells and material samples. Widely used methods trade off system complexity, cost and bulk, computational efficiency and information content. Here…
Phase separation in complex systems is a ubiquitous phenomenon. While simple theories predict coarsening until only macroscopically large phases remain, concrete models often exhibit patterns with finite length scales. To unify such models,…
The miscibility of two interacting quantum systems is an important testing ground for the understanding of complex quantum systems. Two-component Bose-Einstein condensates enable the investigation of this scenario in a particularly well…
We study the ground-state properties of mixtures of strongly interacting bosonic atoms in an optical lattice. Applying a mean-field approximation to the Hubbard model for Bose-Bose mixtures, we calculate the densities and superfluid order…
