It is found that the MC particles behave as if they were trapped in the potential dimples of ion spheres in the small-c regime; in the large-c regime they perform diffusive motion in the fluid simulations and remain localized around the lattice sites in the crystalline simulations. These findings enable us to establish a correspondence between c and the MC elapsed time. Application of this correspondence in the large-c regime leads to an estimate of the diffusion coefficient in the fluid regime which agrees well with the one evaluated independently through the molecular-dynamics method., application/pdf}, pages = {1457--1460}, title = {Elapsed times in Monte Carlo simulations for strongly coupled classical one-component plasmas}, volume = {38}, year = {1988} }
