Popis: Correlation functions and transport coefficients of self-diffusion and shear viscosity of a binary Lennard-Jones mixture with components differing only in their particle mass are studied up to high values of the mass ratio $\mu$, including the limiting case $\mu=\infty$, for different mole fractions $x$. Within a large range of $x$ and $\mu$ the product of the diffusion coefficient of the heavy species $D_{2}$ and the total shear viscosity of the mixture $\eta_{m}$ is found to remain constant, obeying a generalized Stokes-Einstein relation. At high liquid density, large mass ratios lead to a pronounced cage effect that is observable in the mean square displacement, the velocity autocorrelation function and the van Hove correlation function.
