Abstract: The article discusses questions of the kinetics of the vaporization and condensation of metals with their isentropic expansion. The characteristic times of the decomposition of the non-equilibrium states outside and inside the spinodal are calculated. It is shown that the presence of a charged component at the phase interface reduces the relaxation time of the system.
