We review analytical and numerical results for surface-directed spinodal decomposition
(SDSD), namely, the interplay of wetting kinetics and phase separation in a binary (AB) …

We review in a pedagogic manner the topic of quantum Brownian motion, with an emphasis
on its thermodynamic aspects. For the sake of completeness, we begin with the classical …

Many systems exist in multiple phases, depending on the values of external parameters, for
example, temperature (T), pressure (P), and so on. In this context, consider a fluid (eg …

Open quantum systems is the study of quantum dynamics of the system of interest, taking
into account the effects of the ambient environment. It is ubiquitous in the sense that any …

We present the phase separation dynamics of a binary (AB), simple fluid (SF), and
amphiphilic polymer (AP) mixture using dissipative particle dynamics simulation at d= 3. We …

This paper investigates the phase separation kinetics of ternary fluid mixtures composed of a
polymeric component (C) and two simple fluids (A and B) using dissipative particle dynamics …

In this paper, we analyze dissipative diamagnetism, arising due to dissipative cyclotron
motion in two dimensions, in the light of the quantum counterpart of energy equipartition …

The kinetics of phase separation or domain growth, subsequent to temperature quenches of
binary mixtures from the one-phase region into the miscibility gap, still remains a …

We present results from extensive Monte Carlo (MC) simulations of domain growth in
ferromagnets and binary mixtures with quenched disorder. These are modeled by the …
