- Spinodal Decomposition
- In cosmology, early-universe density perturbations grow gravitationally because the homogeneous matter distribution is unstable to collapse — a spinodal-like instability with its own characteristic (Jeans) length.
This sourceEstablishes the gravitational (Jeans) instability of a homogeneous matter distribution and its characteristic Jeans length — the cosmological analogue of a spinodal instability.

Jeans 1902 is the gravitational-stability paper the Jeans length is named for, but only its abstract is held and that abstract speaks of the stability of a rotating mass of gas, not of cosmological perturbations or a spinodal analogue.
“The principal question involved in the nebular hypothesis seems to be the stability of a rotating mass of gas; but, unfortunately, this has remained up to now an untouched field of mathematical research.”

Verification¶
Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.
Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 1 citation: 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
