Interplay between spinodal decomposition and wetting in ternary to quinary mixtures

We use two-dimensional phase-field simulations based on the Cahn--Hilliard description to study spinodal decomposition in N-component mixtures with N = 3, 4, 5. In particular, we consider surface-directed spinodal decomposition in which one of the coexisting phases serves as a filler particle, while the remaining compo...
