Fluid phase separation inside a static periodic field: an effectively two-dimensional critical phenomenon.
When a fluid with a bulk liquid-vapor critical point is placed inside a static external field with spatial periodic oscillations in one direction, a new phase arises. This new phase-the so-called "zebra" phase-is characterized by an average density roughly between that of the liquid and vapor phases. The presence of the zebra phase gives rise to two new phase transitions: one from the vapor to ...
متن کاملCritical properties and phase separation in lattice Boltzmann fluid mixtures.
Basic equilibrium properties of lattice Boltzmann (LB) fluid mixtures (coexistence curve, surface tension, interfacial profile, correlation length) are calculated to characterize the critical phenomena occurring in these model liquids and to establish a reduced variable description allowing a comparison with real fluid mixtures. We observe mean-field critical exponents and amplitudes so that th...
متن کاملElectron band structure in a two-dimensional periodic magnetic field.
In this paper we study the energy spectrum of a two dimensional electron gas (2DEG) in a two dimensional periodic magnetic field. Both a square magnetic lattice and a triangular one are considered. We consider the general case where the magnetic field in a cell can be of any shape. A general feature of the band structure is bandwidth oscillation as a function of the Landau index. A triangular m...
متن کاملPhase separation dynamics in a two-dimensional magnetic mixture.
Based on classical density functional theory (DFT), we investigate the demixing phase transition of a two-dimensional, binary Heisenberg fluid mixture. The particles in the mixture are modeled as Gaussian soft spheres, where one component is characterized by an additional classical spin-spin interaction of Heisenberg type. Within the DFT we treat the particle interactions using a mean-field app...
متن کاملDynamics of Phase Separation in Confined Two-component Fluid Membranes
We investigate the dynamics of phase separation in two-component fluid membranes confined between parallel and rigid bounding plates. Through numerical simulation, we find dramatic slow coarsening of the order parameter field within the simulation time. In particular, a microphase separation is obtained as an equilibrium phase for sufficiently large values of the elastic coupling, being consist...
