abstract

• The nonequilibrium self-consistent generalized Langevin equation theory of colloid dynamics is used to describe the nonstationary aging processes occurring in a suddenly quenched model colloidal liquid with hard-sphere plus short-ranged attractive interactions, whose static structure factor and van Hove function evolve irreversibly from the initial conditions before the quench to a final dynamically arrested state. The comparison of our numerical results with available simulation data are highly encouraging. © 2010 The American Physical Society.
