Abstract
Time-resolved light scattering was used to study the time evolution of phase separation in a critical mixture of 2,5-hexanediol and benzene in the spinodal region. The early-stage behavior of spinodal decomposition is observed. The existence of the time region where the linearized theory of spinodal decomposition is valid is ascertained for the simple binary liquid mixture.Keywords
