Abstract
A two dimensional model of KSCN crystal has been used for molecular dy namics simulations of the phase transition. Diffuse scattering functio n calculated during simulations shows that the correlation lenght of o rdering SCN particles remains constant close below T-c but it grows wh en one approaches T-c from above. Order parameter maps of the system a re in agreement with diffraction data.
