Abstract

The appearance of transient ordered phases in phase separating processes is discussed in terms of thermodynamics and illustrated by a computer simulation. It is revealed that during decomposition of a binary homogeneous disordered phase into a mixture of ordered and disordered phases, a transient ordered phase may appear which has a different structure type than that of the equilibrium ones.
