我们进行了分子动力学模拟来研究单组分等离子体中晶体成核的动力学。我们通过跟踪相变过程中形成的晶核尺寸分布的时间演变来监测过冷液相的成核。虽然一些观测结果与经典成核理论一致，如瞬态效应和结晶自由能垒的存在，但我们不能明确地确定在亚稳相中形成的晶核的临界尺寸。
We have performed molecular dynamics simulations to study the kinetics of crystal nucleation in the one-component plasma. We have monitored nucleation in the supercooled liquid phase by following the time evolution of the size distribution of crystal nuclei formed during the phase transition. Although several observations are consistent with classical nucleation theory such as transient effects and the existence of a free-energy barrier to crystallization, we could not unambiguously identify a critical size for the crystal nuclei formed within the metastable phase.
