In order to find a measure of the dynamical features of phase separation kinetics during spinodal decomposition of a liquid binary mixture (like water and cyclohexane , water and 2,6 lutidiene or methanol and cyclohexane), we study both the…

Phase separation can drive spatial organization of multicomponent mixtures. For instance in developing animal embryos, effective phase separation descriptions have been used to account for the spatial organization of different tissue types.…

A general quantitative measure of the tendency towards phase separation is introduced for systems exhibiting phase transitions or crossovers controlled by charge carrier concentration. This measure is devised for the situations when the…

In active systems, whose constituents have non-equilibrium dynamics at local level, fluid-fluid phase separation is widely observed. Examples include the formation of membraneless organelles within cells; the clustering of self-propelled…

A theory is presented for the membrane junction separation induced by the adhesion between two biomimetic membranes that contain two different types of anchored junctions (receptor/ligand complexes). The analysis shows that several…

When a liquid mixture is subjected to external electric fields, ionic screening leads to field gradients. We point out that if the mixture is initially in the homogeneous phase, this screening can bring about a robust phase-separation…

The tendency of amphiphilic molecules to form micelles in aqueous solution is a consequence of the hydrophobic effect. The fundamental difference between micelle assembly and macroscopic phase separation is the stoichiometric constraint…

The interplay of phase separation and dynamical arrest can lead to the formation of gels and glasses, which is relevant for such diverse fields as hard and soft condensed matter physics, materials science, food engineering and…

We develop a lattice-based Monte Carlo simulation method for charged mixtures capable of treating dielectric heterogeneities. Using this method, we study oil-water mixtures containing an antagonistic salt, with hydrophilic cations and…

Binary mixtures are known to phase separate via both nucleation and spinodal decomposition, depending on the initial composition and extent of the quench. Here we develop an energy landscape view of phase separation and non-ideality in…

Globular proteins as well as recently synthesized colloids engineered with differently charged surface regions have in common a reduced bonding valence and a complex interaction pattern dominated by like-charge attraction and…

Attractive interaction between spinless fermions in a two-dimensional lattice drives the formation of a topological superfluid. But the topological phase is dynamically unstable towards phase separation when the system has a high density of…

We study a diffuse-interface model for thermally driven phase separation in viscous incompressible mixtures. The system couples a convective Cahn-Hilliard equation for the order parameter with a Stokes subsystem for the velocity-pressure…

Twenty years ago Poole et al. (Nature 360, 324, 1992) suggested that the anomalous properties of supercooled water may be caused by a critical point that terminates a line of liquid-liquid separation of lower-density and higher-density…

Phase separation in the Hubbard model is investigated with the dynamical cluster approximation. We find that it is present in the paramagnetic solution for values of filling smaller than one and at finite temperature when a positive…

Two temperature induced phase separation(2-TIPS) is a phenomenon observed in mixtures of active and passive particles modeled by scalar activity where the temperature of the particle is proportional to its activity. The binary mixture of…

Non-equilibrium phase separating systems with reactions can break time-reversal symmetry (TRS) in two distinct ways. Firstly, the conservative and non-conservative sectors of the dynamics can be governed by incompatible free energies; when…

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…

Substitutions of the zirconium and tin ions along with the indium-niobium and iron-niobium complexes for titanium in the barium modified NBT solid solutions impact the formation of phases in the process of the solid state synthesis and the…

As an empirical tool in materials science and engineering, the iconic phase diagram owes its robustness and practicality to the topological characteristics rooted in the celebrated Gibbs phase law (F = C - P + 2). When crossing the phase…
