Imaging chemical concentration pattern and early stages of spinodal decomposition in the AgxNa1−xBr system by scanning force microscopy

In quasi binary systems like AgBr–NaBr the demixing from the homogeneous high temperature phase into separated phases is a complex process that depends on the ageing temperature as well as on the quench rate. Spinodal decomposition and nucleation processes can be distinguished which lead, however, t...
