Description of FIG. 1 (taken from the paper): 

(a) The phase diagram for a binary mixture in a closed cavity. The dashed line depicts the boundary of the zone
of spinodal instability (a homogeneous state is unstable to infinitely small perturbations), the solid line defines the zone of
nucleation (a homogeneous state is stable to infinitely small perturbations but unstable to finite-size perturbations). The
homogeneous state is absolutely stable above the solid line. The dotted line is 0.5 ???? Ca3=8. 

(b) The time dependences of the radii of different droplet-like perturbations. The thick line corresponds to the evolution of the droplet of the critical size
(r0 = rc = 0.057). The thin solid curve corresponds to the droplet with radius slightly bigger than the critical radius (r0 = 0.06),
and the thin dashed and dash-dot lines correspond to the droplets with radii slightly smaller than the critical one (r0 = 0.056
and r0 = 0.055). These curves are obtained for q = 0.4676 and Ca = 10????4. 

(c,d,e) The size, interface thickness and surface tension of the critical droplet for the parameters on the nucleation line (which is the smallest single droplet that can remain
in equilibrium in a closed container). The dotted lines in (c) depict the curve 0.6Ca1=4, in (d) 0.8Ca1=2 and in (e) 0.2Ca1=2.

(f) The average concentrations in the droplet phase (dashed line) and outside (solid line) the droplet. The result is obtained
for the critical droplets for the parameters on the nucleation line. The dotted lines depict the curves, ????0.5 + 1.2Ca1=4 and
0.5 ???? 0.8Ca3=8.
