Power-law coarsening in network-forming phase separation governed by mechanical relaxation

Power-law coarsening in network-forming phase separation governed by mechanical relaxation

The domain growth in phase separation is usually believed to be controlled by material transport. Tateno and Tanaka find that when phase separation causes strong dynamic asymmetry between the two phases, mechanical relaxation dominates and leads to a universally valid scaling law
