the spontaneous separation of an unstable solution into two phases through growth of small composition fluctuations, without a nucleation barrier.

In materials science, spinodal decomposition refers to the spontaneous separation of an unstable solution into two phases through growth of small composition fluctuations, without a nucleation barrier. This meaning comes from Cahn (1961) in Acta Metallurgica.[1]
