Abstract:

We study the scaling law exhibited in the late stage of spinodal decomposition in binary alloys. For small values of the volume fraction of the minority phase where the ordering proceeds mainly by evapolation and condensation of droplets, the scaling form of the scattering function is obtained approximately. The result is in fair agreement with the computer simulations.
