  We investigate the disordering of an initially phase-segregated binary alloy,
due to a highly mobile defect which couples to an electric or gravitational
field. Using both mean-field and Monte Carlo methods, we show that the late
stages of this process exhibit dynamic scaling, characterized by a set of
exponents and scaling functions. A new scaling variable emerges, associated
with the field. While the scaling functions carry information about the field
and the boundary conditions, the exponents are universal. They can be computed
analytically, in excellent agreement with simulation results.
