my.eng.utah.edu• Spinodal decomposition is a mec hanism by which a solution of two or more components can separate into distinct phases with distinctly different chemical compositions and physical properties. This mechanism differs from the classical nucleation (as we went through in previous Lectures #10-14 ):

Lecture 5: Diffusion Coefficient (Diffusivity)
my.eng.utah.eduinside spinodal is characterized by = < 0 since D A is always >0, then this means D A C <0 That is, if the original solution is cooled inside the spinodal, the chemical diffusion coefficient D A C is less than zero, i.e., a negative diffusion coefficient, as J A = - D A C · , it means the flux
