Abstract:

In this paper, we have calculated the diffusion coefficients of the Lennard-Jones gas in a wide range of density and temperature. A universal dependence of the diffusion coefficients on the density for homogeneous systems was found. A deviation from this dependence in terms of the vapor – liquid phase transition was obtained. Two relaxation phases of autocorrelation velocity function of the system in terms of the phase transition were analyzed and explained.

Keywords:

diffusion coefficient, Lennard-Jones potential, phase transition, autocorrelation function of the velocity
