Abstract

In this paper we compare different theoretical approaches to describe the dispersion of collective modes in Yukawa fluids when the interparticle coupling is relatively weak, so that the kinetic and potential contributions to the dispersion relation compete with each other. A thorough comparison with the results from molecular dynamics simulation allows us to conclude that, in the investigated regime, the best description is provided by the sum of the generalized excess bulk modulus and the Bohm-Gross kinetic term.
