## Abstract This article identifies a length scale for spinodal decomposition of Hf and Zr silicate alloys. This has provided important insights into chemical bonding self‐organizations in non‐crystalline alloys as well, in particular for the intermediate phase regime of chalcogenide alloys. Additi

Abstract
Alloy compositions for a first transition (1) into, and a second transition (2) out of intermediate phases (IPs) have been identified (i) by Boolchand and co‐workers in bulk glasses, primarily by low values for the change in enthalpy, Δ__H__~nr~, for non‐reversible heat flow at the glass transition temperature, and (ii) by Lucovsky and coworkers in deposited thin film by combining spectrographic and electrical studies. This paper emphasizes chemical bonding self‐organizations that minimize macroscopic strain within IP windows, identifying necessary and sufficient conditions for IP windows to open, and to close. Percolation theory, competitive and synergistic double percolation, provide a framework for determining alloy compositions for the first and second transitions of IP windows in bulk glasses and thin films as well.
