## Abstract

We present a novel Monte Carlo simulation of the phase separation dynamics of a model fluid membrane. Such a phase segregation induces shape changes of the membrane and results in local \`budding' under favourable conditions. We present a preliminary investigation of the nucleation regime and compute a variety of growth laws. Our study indicates that membranes with high viscosity, buckle on account of phase segregation. We discuss the relation between this dynamical buckling and the phenomenon of \`capping' seen in biological membranes.

## Recorded benchmark results

A research result applies to its stated dataset, split, metric and evaluation configuration. Compare like-for-like settings, preserve the metric's unit and direction, and distinguish paper-reported results from independent reproduction. The best result recorded here is not a claim of exhaustive, current global coverage.
