Kinetics from free-energy landscapes - how to turn phase diagrams into kinetic maps

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

We show how the free-energy landscape of a system, normally used only for calculating its equilibrium phase diagram, can be used to predict the kinetic pathways that are permitted in the course of phase separation. Applications to one particular soft condensed matter system, a colloid-polymer mixture, are briefly described.
