Abstract

We have developed a theory for the evolution of concentration fluctuations after a temperature quench which takes the effect of slow structural relaxation into account. In its linear and non-linear forms, it generalizes the theories of Cahn, Hilliard and Cook, and of Langer, Bar-on and Miller.
