Abstract
Spinodal decomposition has been studied both theoretically and experimentally in isotropic materials and in cubic crystals by Cahn. Some experimental work and a partial theoretical study of spinodal decomposion has also been made in tetragonal crystals by Stubican and Schultz. In this thesis I wish to extend this theoretical study by a more complete treatment of the effect of spinodal decomposition in crystals of less than cubic symmetry. Of particular interest are tetragonal crystals.
