Spinodal Theory: A Common Rupturing Mechanism in Spinodal Dewetting and Surface Directed Phase Separation (Some Technological Aspects: Spatial Correlations and the Significance of Dipole-Quadrupole Interaction in Spinodal Dewetting)
Figure 9
It shows (a) spatial correlation fits well to higher order polynomial specially in early phases of evolution; spatial correlation versus MC cycles (b) spatial correlation versus MC cycles, the open dots represent the preferred component B (i.e., majority component) and solid ones the other one (i.e., minority component-A) (c) spatial correlation of B (average fitting) versus MC cycles (d) spatial correlation of A (average fitting) versus MC cycles (e) average number density of A and B—profile parallel to the substrates and (f) average number density of A and B—profile perpendicular to the substrates. All averages are done after every 250 cycles (except (a) after 100 MC cycles).
