Domain wall formation in the Cahn-Hilliard-Cook equation - art. no. 036112

Formation of domain walls during phase-separating transition in the Cahn-Hi lliard-Cook equation is studied. Density of domain wall scales like a sixth root, of quench rate for equal concentrations and like a square root of qu ench rate for unequal concentrations of components. For a slow inhomogeneou s transition, the density is linear in a velocity of temperature front.
