Nucleation of long-range order in quenched Yukawa plasmas

We discuss the nucleation from glassy to crystalline order in quenched one-component Yukawa plasmas as studied by molecular dynamics. Rapid quenches from T≥4${\mathit{T}}_{\mathrm{melt}}$ to T≤0.5${\mathit{T}}_{\mathrm{melt}}$ were studied and a range of Yukawa exponents were considered for systems with up to 10 000 particles. We report on the effect of system size on nucleation and the relevance of classical nucleation theory to the observed nonequilibrium dynamics.
