CRITICAL MULTIPLE CORRELATIONS IN THE LANDAU MODEL LM. TKACHENKO’ Department of Physics and Astronomy, University of Maryland, College Park, MD 20742, USA Received 1 March 1979
The investigation of three- and four-particle critical correlations in a scalar system is reported. The self-consistent field model is utilized. The differential equations and integral expressions for the corresponding correlation functions are obtained and partly analyzed.
Recently there has been much interest in the multiple molecular light scattering in fluids [1—6]. Since the intensity of the multiple scattering is connected with the multi-point correlation functions, and the observation of this effect far from critical points of -lifferent systems is essentially difficult, the problem investigating the multi-particle correlations near ~sof the second-order phase transition seems to o-date and interesting. present letter we wish to report the analysis ~a!multi-particle static correlations in spacesystems describable by the scalar order We utilize here the self-consistent field 1

H0123 will be enough for the calculation of all correlation functions K~with n ~ 4. Indeed, we then have: 01234 K5(r0,...,r4)Ø~{l+ [H01] + A2 [H 234+ A3 [H 01234 01H23]°’ 0123] +A3[H 1234} (8) 012(l+H34)]° .
Thus, our problem is reduced [see eqs.(1), (7) and (8)] to the investigation of the response functions x3 and X4 It can be shown [11] that in the presence of the infinitesimal harmonic external field h(r) = h(k) exp (ik. m), the field non-equilibrium value of the order parameter ~1~h is equal average to

The analysis of these expressions is a complicated
problem, and we report here only results of most interest for the light scattering theory [7]
where the nth order susceptibility x~(ki, k,~_i) is the Fourier-transform of the corresponding response function x~(ro,r1, r0_j). On the other hand,the ...,

Substituting the expansion (9) into the Euler equation (10), we express the quadratic susceptibility x3(k1, k2) in terms of the linear susceptibility ~2(k): —3b00x2(k1)x2(k2) x2(k0) (1U where = —(k1 + k2). It can be easily found by the linearization of eq. (10), that [8] k2)

where c is Euler’s constant. In the temperature range T~’T~the equilibrium value of the order parameter is øo = 0 (and K = 0), which makes all odd semi-invariants equal to zero. Examination of eqs. (7), (l4)—(l7) shows that the cumulant K~S)is not equal to zero on both sides of the transition point; therefore, the gaussian approximation is inapplicable
even in the symmetric phase. We hope that our results will prove to be useful for the theory of the multiple light scattering in liquids. 439
