abstract = {The initial stage of isotropic-nematic spinodal demixing
kinetics of suspensions of very long and thin, stiff,
repulsive rods is analyzed on the basis of the N-particle
Smoluchowski equation. Equations of motion for the reduced
probability density function of the position and orientation
of a rod are expanded up to second order in spatial
gradients and leading order in orientational order
parameter. The resulting equation of motion is solved
analytically, from which the temporal evolution of
light-scattering patterns are calculated. It is shown that
inhomogeneities in number density are enslaved by the
temporal development of inhomogeneities in orientational
order. Furthermore, demixing due to rotational diffusion is
shown to be much faster as compared to translational
diffusion. This results in an instable mode that is
rotational, for which the corresponding eigenvector remains
finite at zero wave vector. The scattered intensity
nevertheless exhibits a maximum at a finite wave vector due
to the wave-vector dependence of time-exponential
prefactors. The wave vector where the intensity exhibits a
maximum is therefore predicted to be a function of time even
during the initial stage of demixing.},
