What is spinodal decomposition?
Phase separation may occur in a way that the growth is not in extent but in amplitude. Only in the unstable region such a procedure is thermodynamically feasible. In a phase diagram the unstable region is defined by the spinodal. When a system has crossed this locus, phase separation occurs spontane...
