Abstract

Spatial correlations of interfacial curvature are compared for symmetric and asymmetric two-phase mixtures produced following spinodal decomposition as given by a numerical solution to the Cahn–Hilliard equation in three dimensions. By calculating radial distribution functions of the density of interfacial area as a function of the mean interfacial curvature of these bicontinuous microstructures, it is found that long-range diffusive interactions, in combination with the morphology of the system, yield a variety of correlations and anticorrelations over a range of length scales. The asymmetric mixtures show some similarities to the symmetric mixtures, as well as other unique features.
