In physics, a system composed of two substances can be modeled in accordance with classical mixture theory, which considers the fraction corresponding to each constituent and the interactions among constituents. Examples include the coexistence of high- and low-density phases in supercooled water and the coexistence of metal puddles in an insulating matrix in the Mott metal-insulator transition.
