Abstract Decomposition morphologies of supersaturated spinel solid solutions in the quasi-binary system Co2TiO4-CoAl2O4 at 973 K show all pertinent features of spinodal decomposition. Since the decomposition morphology may not be considered as sufficient evidence for a spinodal process, the thermodynamics of the spinel solid solutions and the linear transport theory of spinodal decomposition were combined to corroborate the experimental results of the early decomposition reaction.Simultaneous ordering, a common property of ternary and higher nonequilibrium solid solutions, was also observed. These ordering processes occur locally in distinct regions of the spinel crystal. Moreover, the spinodal wavelength λ increases in time according to λ ∞ t, which is unusual and will be discussed in the light of cation diffusion in semiconducting oxides with two cation sublattices.
