Kinetics of phase separation in ternary mixtures

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 present comprehensive numerical results for various characteristic features of the domain growth process, e.g., real-space correlation functions, domain-size distribution functions, and growth laws.
