We use the model system ethanol–dodecane to demonstrate that giant critical fluctuations induced by easily accessible weak centrifugal fields as low as 2000g can be observed above the miscibility gap even far from the critical point of a binary liquid mixture.

The influence of coherency strains on phase equilibria in a two-phase microstructure is examined for a binary or pseudobinary alloy system possessing a consolute critical point (chemical miscibility gap). The qualitative features of phase equilibria, including the limits of metastability (chemical spinodal), are shown to depend critically on the mechanical loading conditions and the geometric arrangement of the phases in the microstructure. If the elastic state of a phase in a two-phase coherent system is independent of the presence of the other phase, then the equilibrium characteristics usually associated with fluid systems should be observed, even though the system is nonhydrostatically stressed. If the elastic state of a phase depends upon the presence of the other phase, then the equilibrium characteristics that have come to be associated with coherent systems should be observed; tie lines and field lines do not coincide, the common tangent construction is invalid, and Gibbs phase rule is not applicable.
