Abstract:
Recent experimental results from dynamic light scattering on two-component colloidal mixtures close to the glass transition are compared to theory. In the framework of the mode-coupling theory of the glass transition, close agreement is found in general. Discrepancies are identified for the minority-particle correlation function, and possible reasons for them are discussed.
