Spinodal decomposition is a mechanism by which a single thermodynamic phase spontaneously separates into two phases (without nucleation). Decomposition...

curve, Gibbs free energy as a function of composition) is known as the spinodal curve. For compositions within this curve, infinitesimally small fluctuations...

solution. Phase-transition processes can also be explained in terms of spinodal decomposition, where phase separation is delayed until the system enters...

the emulsion derives its stability from trapping between the binodal and spinodal curves in the phase diagram. However, the microscopic mechanisms responsible...

transition points, states with zero slope, are called spinodal points. Their locus is the spinodal curve that separates the regions of the plane for which...

critical point represents the temperature–concentration extremum of the spinodal curve (as can be seen in the figure to the right). Thus, the liquid–liquid...

liquid and smallest possible vapor states are called spinodal points. Their locus forms a spinodal curve which bounds a region where no homogeneous stable...
