Abstract
Abstract A late-time growth law of domains undergoing vapor-liquid phase separation is studied for two- and three-dimensional Lennard-Jones fluids by molecular dynamics simulations. The characteristic domain size shows a power law growth in a late stage with the growth exponent of ½ for both two- and three-dimensional fluids. This study concerns also the relationship between statistical properties of domain patterns and temperatures. The asymptotic form factor of each system is obtained using scaling and the asymptotic tail of the form factor is analyzed. This tail is related to the domain-wall structure. At low system temperatures, the form factor satisfies Porod's law; the asymptotic tail decreases as S(k) ∼ k −(D+ 1) where D is the system dimensionality. However, it is found that the decay of the asymptotic tail becomes slower than that of the Porod tail at higher temperatures in both two- and three-dimensional systems. This indicates that the dimension of the domain wall is fractal and increases with ...
