Enslaved Phase-Separation Fronts in One-Dimensional Binary Mixtures
arXiv:0805.3745 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevE.79.056710
Abstract
Phase-separation fronts leave in their wakes morphologies that are substantially different from the morphologies formed in homogeneous phase-separation. In this paper we focus on fronts in binary mixtures that are enslaved phase-separation fronts, i.e. fronts that follow in the wake of a control-parameter front. In the one-dimensional case, which is the focus of this paper, the formed morphology is deceptively simple: alternating domains of a regular size. However, determining the size of these domains as a function of the front speed and other system parameters is a non-trivial problem. We present an analytical solution for the case where no material is deposited ahead of the front and numerical solutions and scaling arguments for more general cases. Through these enslaved phase-separation fronts large domains can be formed that are practically unattainable in homogeneous one-dimensional phase-separation.
