In other words, the solutionis more stable than the individual components Gmix is composed of entropic (-T Smix) and enthalpic ( Hmix) parts Consider1. Hmix less than zero: stable solution2.
Spinodal Decomposition • A continuous phase transformation Initially, small composition changes that are wide-ranging Give interpenetrating microstructure (2 continuous phases) • No thermodynamic barrier to phase separation One phase separates into two Infinitesimal composition changes lower the system free energy • Very important in ...
