Kinetics of phase separation in ternary mixtures - art. no. 056139

We present detailed results from Monte Carlo simulations of the kinetics of phase separation in ternary mixtures. We focus on the case of ABV mixtures (where V denotes a vacancy) and investigate segregation kinetics resulting from V-mediated dynamics. We provide heuristic arguments for the existence of different morphologies in various parameter regimes. Furthermore, we pr esent comprehensive numerical results for various characteristic features o f the domain growth process. e.g., real-space correlation functions, domain -size distribution functions, and growth laws.
