Random Diffusion Model with Structure Corrections

Soft Condensed Matter 2015-03-13 v2

Abstract

The random diffusion model is a continuum model for a conserved scalar density field driven by diffusive dynamics where the bare diffusion coefficient is density dependent. We generalize the model from one with a sharp wavenumber cutoff to one with a more natural large-wavenumber cutoff. We investigate whether the features seen previously -- namely a slowing down of the system and the development of a prepeak in the dynamic structure factor at a wavenumber below the first structure peak -- survive in this model. A method for extracting information about a hidden prepeak in experimental data is presented.
