Abstract
We have used light scattering to study the dynamics of fluctuations in a water-in-oil microemulsion near a critical phase transition point and found excellent agreement with the mode-mode coupling theory of Kawasaki as modified by renormalization-group calculations. An alternative origin of the modification of the Kawasaki expression is also suggested by consideration of the effects of the internal current of a liquid droplet moving through another liquid.Keywords
