Abstract
Development of solidification processes in rapidly supercooled one-component plasmas is studied by a Monte Carlo (MC) simulation method with a number of particles 1458. Evolutions of interparticle correlations and of local and extended bond-orientational orders are investigated microscopically. Layered structures emerge at pre-nucleation stages in the system and expedite a subsequent evolution into metastable states. The metastable states are bcc monocrystalline states with an admixture of a few defects in the form of intralayer interstitials, which differ significantly from the glassy states obtained in the previous simulations with a smaller number of particles. The role of MC periodic boundary conditions in the freezing transitions is discussed in conjunction with the number of MC particles.
