Diffusive-like and propagating solutions of the generalized Langevin equation for mass–concentration fluctuations for liquid non-ionic binary mixtures are studied. A condition of existence for longitudinal optical-like excitations is derived. The results obtained from the approach developed are compared against simulation results for the dense mixtures KrAr and He0.65Ne0.35. Amplitudes of contributions from optical-like excitations to the spectral functions are discussed. Collective dynamics in binary liquids has been for a long time a matter of debate, especially as regards the existence of high-frequency propagating excitations and the possibility of observing their manifestation in experimental intensity spectral functions. While for coulombic liquids [1] the existence of propagating charge waves (by analogy with optical phonons in solids they have been called optical-like excitations) is well established, it is not known how one should interpret high-frequency excitations in non-ionic mixtures. In recent papers [2, 3] we studied the transverse dynamics of Lennard-Jones and metallic mixtures within the generalized collective modes (GCM) approach [4] and found that transverse optical-like excitations can exis te ve ni nnon-ionic binary liquids. It was shown that the damping of mass–concentration propagating modes is very important for estimatio no ft heir dispersion relations. In the longwavelength limit the damping of transverse optical-like excitations is determined by the value of the mutual diffusion and the static structure factor Sxx(k) ,w hich atk = 0i s am easure of how close the binary mixture is to demixing. In this letter we report a GCM study of longitudinal high-frequency dynamics in binary mixtures. The main aim is to show that there exist opticallike solutions for the generalized Langevin equation. Using an analytical three-variable model to treat mass–concentration fluctuations, we will show that optical-like (mass–concentration) propagating excitations must exist in non-ionic liquid mixtures, but may be suppressed in some cases by special conditions.
