Title: STATIC CORRELATIONS IN THE ORDERED COLLOIDAL SYSTEMS
Authors: O.I.Gerasimov (Odesa State Hydrometheorological Institute, Odesa, Ukraine), P.P.J.-M.Schram (Eindhoven University of Technology, Eindhoven, Netherlands)

The macroion-macroion correlation function and structure factor are studied within the Ornstein-Zernike (OZ) integral equation closed by hypernetted-chain approximation using the method of critical modes. Developing the results which have recently been received in \cite{1,2,3} for a case of a model system consisting of a mixture of charged hard spheres, the role of detalization in describing the compound characters is investigated. In particular, it is shown that adding the uncharged particles to the model of the solution of macroparticles and counterions significantly affects the structural parameter of ordering extracted within the critical modes method providing close theoretical and relating experimental results.
