摘要
Yukawa systems serve as models for plasmas and colloidal suspensions of charged particles. The state of these systems is determined by two dimensionless parameters: k = a/lambda(D), which is the ratio of the mean interparticle distance to the Debye length lambda(D), and Gamma = Z(d)(2)e(2)/aT(d), which is the ratio of the Coulomb potential energy to the particle temperature T-d (Z(d) is the charge of each particle). We propose an empirical scaling law for the critical coupling parameter Gamma(c) needed for crystallization in Yukawa systems. The dependence of Gamma(c) on k is in good agreement with recent molecular dynamics simulations. (C) 2000 MAIK "Nauka/Interperiodica".
