摘要

Size effects during phase transitions in binary stratifying mixtures with small systems are simulated by means of equilibrium chemical thermodynamics. Conditions are described under which stable and metastable thermodynamically equilibrium heterogeneous states exist. It is established that degeneracy is split in nanosize and submicron systems and the inversion of equilibrium and metastable states is possible. It is shown that size effects include a change and shift of the heterogeneity region in the phase diagram. It is concluded that in the limiting case, reducing the size of a system can homogenize a stratifying mixture of any composition.
