Explore the fascinating world of critical Casimir forces and surface critical dynamics in binary fluids through this comprehensive lecture. Delve into the dynamic response of surface properties in confined fluids, examining the growth of critical fluctuations and adsorption film development after quenching. Discover the scaling behavior compatible with the universality class of model H' and the rich structure of correlation functions, including slow algebraic decays. Learn about various aspects such as Buck Critical Phenomena, Model H for fluids, Monte Carlo simulations, molecular dynamics, Binder Cumulant, correlation length, static structure factor, and surface UMV class. Gain insights into both static and dynamic surface critical properties, as well as the intricacies of Critical Casimir Forces (CCF) in binary fluid systems.
