Abstract
The evolution of structural relaxation in binary mixtures of hard spheres with size ratios δ of the two components varying between 0.5 and 1.0 was discussed. It was found that the critical amplitudes for density fluctuations at small and intermediate wave vectors decreased upon mixing. The qualitative features of mixing effects for dynamical light-scattering measurements on binary mixtures of hard-sphere-like colloids with size ratio γ = 0.6 were also elaborated.
