Abstract

A new theoretical approach to the determination of the critical temperature of spinodal decomposition of alloys is suggested. The approach is based on the inclusion of the dependences of elementary excitations existing in the system on the alloy composition. It is shown that the most substantial effect on the critical temperature is produced by equilibrium plasma oscillations. An analytical expression for the critical temperature in terms of the band -structure parameters of the alloy is derived. The role of other excitations existing in the system is analyzed. The calculated critical temperatures are correlated with the currently available theoretical and experimental results.
