Phase separation in fluid systems by spinodal decomposition: A molecular-dynamics simulation
Abstract
Using the molecular-dynamics technique, we describe the dynamical evolution of phase separation by spinodal decomposition for a Lennard-Jones fluid quenched to the unstable region. This is the first direct observation of the initial stages of spinodal decomposition. © 1976 The American Physical Society.
