Abstract
The method of molecular dynamics is used to study the dynamic behavior of a nonideal system of particles interacting through screened Coulomb potentia l. The behavior of the self-diffusion coefficient of particles as a functio n of the nonideality parameter is investigated. The conditions of the cryst allization of such a system are discussed, as well as the possibility of us ing the crystallization criterion, based on the dynamic characteristics of the system.
