Phase separation and recrystallization

This was the first proven example of the operation of the principle that free energy stored in the metastable amorphous alloy can be used to create a catalytically active species which is still metastable against phase separation and recrystallization, but which is low enough in residual free energy to maintain the catalytically active state for useful lifetimes. 

Among all the techniques listed in this heading X-ray Scattering , the SAXS method is probably one of the most often used. The studies of phase separation and recrystallization in organic polymers or polymer mixtures very often requires SAXS experiments. In the inorganic chemistry field too, this method is used to tackle a variety of scientific purposes ...
