Thermodynamically consistent phase-field theory including nearest-neighbor pair correlations

Most of our current understanding of phase separation is based on ideas that disregard correlations. Here we illuminate unexpected effects of correlations on the structure and thermodynamics of interfaces and in turn phase separation, which are decisive in systems with strong interactions. Evaluatin...
