Self-excited spinodal decomposition oscillations are obtained in a bin
ary, liquid, stratified mixture deep in the labile region. An optother
modynamic method is presented for locating the binodal and the spinoda
l in the temperature-concentration plane for stratified solutions with
a lower critical point. It is shown that light-induced barodiffusion
is an effective mechanism for translating a stratified solution into t
he metastable region.
