This study investigates the convective–diffusive Cahn–Hilliard equation, a nonlinear model which is used in real-world applications to phase separation and material pattern formation. Using the modified Sardar sub-problem technique, which is an extension of the Sardar sub-equation approach, we derive multiple classes of exact soliton solutions, including bright, dark, kink, and periodic forms. The parametric behaviors of these solutions are examined and visualized through analytical plots generated in Mathematica and Maple. Furthermore, UV–Vis spectrophotometry is employed to examine the optical response of copper oxide (CuO) thin films. The films exhibited a sharp absorption edge around 380–410 nm and an optical band gap of approximately 2.3 eV, confirming their semiconducting nature. The experimentally observed periodic transmission characteristics are linked with the theoretical soliton profiles predicted by the model. Overall, the proposed analytical and experimental framework establishes a clear connection between nonlinear wave theory and thin-film optical characterization, providing new insights into soliton transformation phenomena in complex material systems.

A typical dissolution wetting system, Bi-Sn eutectic filler metal over a Bi substrate in a high-purity argon atmosphere was investigated first using real-time in situ hot stage microscopy for the extensive use of the sharp-interface model and the diffuse-interface model in the modeling of brazing/soldering related wetting systems. Subsequently, the similarities and differences between the aforementioned models in describing the issues of the wetting and spreading interfaces were discussed in terms of soldering definition and theoretical formula derivation. It is noted that (i) the mutual dissolution diffusion between the liquid Bi-Sn solder and Bi substrate were obvious. As a result, the composition and volume of the liquid solder is constantly changing during the wetting and spreading process; (ii) the sharp-interface model is a special case of the diffuse-interface model of the Cahn-Hilliard nonlinear diffuse-equation under the convective dominant condition; (iii) although there are differences between the sharp-interface model and the diffuse-interface model, both of them could be used in brazing/soldering related processes; and, (iv) the agreement between the experimental and simulation results of the sharp-interface model is not as good as that of the diffuse-interface model, which can be attributed to the effects of the elements’ diffusion and the phase transformation.
