Noise-induced phase separation: mean-field results.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a study of a phase-separation process induced by the presence of spatially correlated multiplicative noise. We develop a mean-field approach suitable for conserved-order-parameter systems and use it to obtain the phase diagram of the model. Mean-field results are compared with numerical simulations of the complete model in two dimensions. Additionally, a comparison between the noise-driven dynamics of conserved and nonconserved systems is made at the level of the mean-field approximation.

Fabrication of Gelatin Scaffolds Using Thermally Induced Phase Separation Technique
Gelatin is considered as a partially degraded product of collagen and it is a biodegradable polymer which can be used to produce scaffolds for tissue engineering. Three-dimensional, porous gelatin scaffolds were fabricated by thermally induced phase separation and freeze-drying method. Their porous structure and pore size were characterized by scanning electron microscopy. Scaffolds with differ...
متن کاملAdditive Noise and Noise-induced Nonequilibrium Phase Transitions
We study how additive noise influences noise-induced nonequilibrium phase transitions. The review of the most recent results and a discussion about open questions is presented. We show that additive noise strongly influences a noise-induced phase transition. We demonstrate also that additive noise can induce such a transition by itself. It can occur both via the excitation of noise-induced osci...
متن کاملNoise-induced phase transitions in field-dependent relaxational dynamics: the Gaussian ansatz.
We present an analytic mean-field theory for relaxational dynamics in spatially extended systems that undergo purely noise-induced phase transitions to ordered states. The theory augments the usual mean-field approach with a Gaussian ansatz that yields quantitatively accurate results for strong coupling. We obtain analytic results not only for steady-state mean fields and distribution widths, b...
متن کاملAdhesion-induced Phase Separation of Biomembranes–Effective Potential and Simulations
We present theoretical analyses and numerical simulations for the adhesion-induced phase separation of multi-component membranes with two types of ligand-receptor complexes (junctions). We show that after integrating all possible distributions of the junctions, the system can be regarded as a membrane under an effective external potential. Mean field theory and Gaussian approximation are used t...
متن کاملPreparation and characterization of polyethylene/ glass fiber composite membrane prepared via thermally induced phase separation method
Grinded glass fiber (GGF) embedded high density polyethylene (HDPE) membranes were prepared via thermally induced phase separation method. FESEM images showed that all the membranes had leafy structure, indicating a solid-liquid mechanism during phase separation. The results of EDX and TGA analyses confirmed that the fibers were dispersed in the HDPE matrix uniformly. Normalized water flux of t...
