Evidence for Spinodal Phase Separation in Two-Dimensional Nanocrystal Self-Assembly
Abstract
The drying of thin nanocrystal solution films creates a varied range of structured aggregate spatial patterns as a function of surface coverage. These images can be understood as predicted kinetic stages in the fluid-fluid spinodal phase separation of a 2D van der Waals particle system. It is suggested that phase separation occurs due to increased van der Waals nanocrystal−nanocrystal interaction in the presence of air, as compared with the shielded interaction in organic solvents.

The relief is formed as a result of self-assembly in the "solvent-particles" system caused by evaporation of solvent and interaction between particles.
“We propose that the relief is formed as a result of self-assembly in the “solvent–particles” system caused by the evaporation of the solvent and interaction between particles (e.g., van der Waals interaction) [72,73].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
