Critical Fluctuations in Polymer Solutions: Crossover from Criticality to Tricriticality
Mikhail A. Anisimov, Thomas J. Longo, Jan V. Sengers
Critical fluctuations in fluids and fluid mixtures yield a nonanalytic asymptotic Ising-like critical thermodynamic behavior in terms of power laws with universal exponents. In pol…

Structure Factor of a Phase Separating Binary Mixture with Natural and Forceful Interconversion of Species
Thomas J. Longo, Nikolay A. Shumovskyi, Salim M. Asadov +2
Using a modified Cahn-Hilliard-Cook theory for spinodal decomposition in a binary mixture that exhibits both diffusion and interconversion dynamics, we derive the time-dependent st…

Phase Amplification in Spinodal Decomposition of Immiscible Fluids with Interconversion of Species
Nikolay A. Shumovskyi, Thomas J. Longo, Sergey V. Buldyrev +1
A fluid composed of two molecular species may undergo phase segregation via spinodal decomposition. However, if the two molecular species can interconvert, e.g. change their chiral…
