Experimental test for the hyperbolic model of spinodal decomposition in the binary system

A model has been presented for the physical decay with the relaxation of the diffusion flux described by the hyperbolic diffusion equation. The analysis of such a hyperbolic model provides the predictions for the critical parameters of the decay, which are compared with the conclusions of the Cahn-Hilliard theory. It has been shown that the hyperbolic model predicts the nonlinearity of the dispersion curve for the spinodal decay, which is controlled by the ratio of the diffusion and correlation lengths. The predicted behavior of the dispersion curve is compared with the experimental data on phase separation in binary glasses.
