The formation of periodic concentration distribution under the phase transition of solutions
T
he purpose of this study is to explain how the periodic alternation of phases is formed in a homogeneous liquid
solution during phase transition liquid-solid. The formation of a periodic structure is explained for two cases; first,
for the case where the periodic distribution of the components occur in the liquid phase and second, the formation
of periodic eutectic structure. This study shows that a solution during crystallization can be in unstable state. The
unstable condition leads to decomposition the solution by spinodal scenario. Experimental demonstration of spinodal
decomposition of the solution is conducted by video shooting process of decomposition of an aqueous solution of
bromothymol blue while its crystallization. Periodic distribution bromothymol blue is the result of these experiments.
Locally configuration thermodynamic model is used to explain the state changes of the solution during the phase
transition. Spinodal decomposition of the solution explains the process of formation of a periodic distribution of
the eutectic composites. The layer of the unstable solution is localized in front of the unstable interface. The unstable
solution decomposes into phases, which have a composition close to the eutectic composition of the solid phases.
The period of alternation of these phases is set by the period of instability of the interface. Experiments show that the
formation of dendrites in the mushy zone and extremum of the component concentration during steady-state regime of
crystallization close to interface also occurs in the spinodal decomposition scenario.
