Critical light scattering in liquids
We compare theoretical results for the characteristic frequency of the Rayleigh peak calculated in one-loop order within the field theoretical method of the renormalization group theory with experiments and other theoretical results. Our expressions describe the nonasymptotic crossover in temperature, density, and wave vector. In addition we discuss the frequency dependent shear viscosity evaluated within the same model and compare our theoretical results with recent experiments in microgravity.
