Abstract
An exact solution of the Percus-Yevick equation for the correlation functions appropriate to a binary mixture has been given by Lebowitz. We show that the Fourier transforms lead directly to the structure factors , the latter being functions of a total packing parameter , the ratio of the hardsphere diameters and the concentration parameter describing the relative amount of each component in the mixture. An expression for the compressibility is also given. The results are applied to a discussion of x-ray scattering from mixtures.
