It is shown independently on the number of particles that a mass difference between fermionic species induces a separation in the lighter flavor system. The mechanism of emerging of separated phases is explained phenomenologically and confirmed with the help of a direct inspection of the ground-state of the system. Finally, it is shown that the separation driven by a mass difference, in contrast to the separation induced by a difference of populations, is robust to the interactions with thermal environment. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/1506.03592v2
