Small angle neutron scattering investigations performed on Fe1−x–Nix alloys with 0.26 ≤ x ≤ 0.45 revealed a thermodynamically driven decomposition below 800 °C. The miscibility gap extends at least from 30 at.% Ni to 45 at.% Ni. The diffusioncontrolled decomposition produces fractal morphologies during the early stages of the process. During annealing the structure of the precipitated phase densifies continuously from mass fractals with small dimensionality (1 ≤ dm ≤ 3) to surface fractals with 2 ≤ ds ≤ 3. The results are compared with recent simulations of aggregation and growth as well as with a new analysis of spinodal decomposition, both predicting fractal morphologies.

The article deals with the phase diagram and spinodal decomposition of two polymers blends, namely d—PS/PVME and d(deutero)—PS/PS, investigated by small angle neutron scattering (SANS). The result of the static experiments is the excess free energy and the phase diagram. This is used as a basis for studies of non—equilibrium phenomena as spinodal decomposition. In polymer blends the Cahn—Hilliard—Cook theory of the early state of spinodal decomposition can be tested easily, because the blends have rather low relaxation rates; and they are meanfield systems [2,6] which makes interpretation simple, except in a very narrow temperature region near the critical point [6]. The kinetics in the isotopic blend d—PS/PS are so slow that the early states of spinodal decomposition can be studied within minutes. The presented SANS results have been performed at the KWS I small angle instrument at the FRJ—2 reactor in the KFA Jülich.
