Theory of Early Stage Spinodal Decomposition in Fluids near the Critical Point. II

In Figs. 3, 4, 5 and 6 the experimental points and the dashed lines of LBM have been taken from Ref. 1). Recently Professor Goldburg and Dr. Schwartz communicated to us that in Ref. 1) an error of factor 2 in time scale occurred in plotting the LBM results corresponding to 2-r=!"LBM· This is also true in our work provided that L=L (or r=1), and the lines of LBM should be shifted to the left accordingly. On the other hand, if L~L" as in our case, we have 2r-r=rLBM and the factor 2r is 1 r=1/2 as in our work. Then this error dissappears. In our work we have regarded the LBM results to be applicable to the model in which L=L" (that is, the renormalization contribution to L comes from fluctuations with k>A=tr:) and long-range hydrodynamic interactions are absent. On the other hand, in drawing the LBM curve in Fig. 5 and the LBM curve with c=1/ v3 ( _,_) in Fig. 10 we have chosen r=L Thus, in order to be consistent with the above-mentioned interpretation of the LBM results, these curves ought to be moved appropriately to the right.
