Summary: | The recently proposed modification of the mode-coupling theory (MCT) in which the static structure used in the vertex is computed at a lower density than the actual one is tested on several dynamics-related properties. The predictions from this modified version of MCT calibrated on the one-component hard-sphere fluid are found in very good agreement with simulation data for one-component and binary hard-sphere fluids. They are also relevant for the stress moduli for models with attractive tails beyond the hard core. The clear improvement observed on several properties should give a new impetus to the use of MCT as a quantitative tool. |
