Decoupled-Mode Dynamical Scaling Theory of the Binary-Liquid Phase Transition

Abstract

The critical slowing down of the diffusion in a binary liquid is calculated from the fluctuation-dissipation theorem. The fluctuating current is the product of the local fluctuations in concentration and velocity. Assuming statistical independence of these variables yields results identical to those found by Kawasaki using another method.
