Abstract

Phase separation dynamics and structural properties of binary liquid clusters with linear dimensions in the nanometer range are investigated. The demixing process proceeds through incipient domain formation and coarsening processes. Strong density correlations are shown to exist within the resulting phase-separated clusters. The results of this study show that cluster binary mixtures display interesting two-phase phenomena which differ from their bulk-phase analogs.
