The basic concepts on the kinetics of phase separation in alloys are introduced, and the current status of the theory is briefly reviewed. Particular emphasis is given to questions such as the conditions under which the linearized theory of spinodal decomposition is valid, the significance of spinodal curves, the possible description of coarsening in terms of power laws and structure-factor scaling, and non-equilibrium percolation phenomena.
