Abstract
Correlation functions are calculated for the multicomponent electrolyte near the critical point of the pure solvent. Our results generalize the well-known Debye-Hückel and Ornstein-Zernike results. Both the liquid-vapour and the phase separation critical points are investigated. It has been found that the interaction between the long-range modes of the order parameter and the charge density leads to some instability. The charge-density and order-parameter wave may appear. In the strong interaction case the correlation functions may oscillate in space with or without an exponential damping.Keywords
