Continuous phase separation or spinodal decomposition occurs within a miscibility gap through the selective amplification of long wavelength concentration waves to produce a two-phase modulated microstructure. To comprehensively study the formation of these modulated microstructures and the kinetics of continuous phase separation the behavior of the composition fluctuations in the decomposing material should be monitored directly. The atom probe field-ion microscope is an ideal instrument for this type of investigation of fine-scale microstructures because of its ultra-high spatial resolution and microchemical analysis capability.

We review analytical and numerical results for the kinetics of phase separation in confined geometries. It is often the case that a confining surface has a preferential attraction for one of the components of a segregating mixture. The equilibrium surface morphology is either partially wet or completely wet, depending on the strength of the surface potential. The dynamical interplay of wetting and phase separation is referred to as surface-directed spinodal decomposition (SDSD), and is of considerable technological importance. We discuss the modeling of SDSD at both the microscopic and coarse-grained levels. We also present results for SDSD in both semi-infinite and confined geometries.

When a homogeneous amorphous Pd40.5Ni40.5P19 alloy was subjected to thermal annealing for 30 min at various temperatures, novel microstructures were observed. At an annealing temperature of 603 K, phase separation of the amorphous phase dominated. At 628 K, a precipitation reaction proceeded first. After its completion, a eutectic growth set in. At 638 K, metastable spinodal decomposition occurred first, followed by a eutectic growth. Finally at 673 K, crystal growth of crystalline spinodal network was fast enough to compete with a eutectic growth.
