Abstract We employ the Green-Kubo (G-K) and Einstein relations to estimate the self-diffusion coefficients (denoted as and , respectively) in two-dimensional (2D) strongly coupled dusty plasmas (SC-DPs) via equilibrium molecular dynamics (EMD) simulations. and are computed for a broad domain of screening length () and coupling parameters () along with different system sizes. It is observed that both and decrease linearly with increasing in warm liquid states and increase with increasing . In cold liquid states, the Einstein relation accurately predicts in 2D SC-DPs because diffusion motion is close to normal diffusion, but the G-K relation provides overestimations of , because VACF indicates anomalous diffusion; thus, is not accurate. Our new simulation outcomes reveal that and remain independent of system sizes. Furthermore, our investigations demonstrate that at higher temperatures, and converge, suggesting diffusion motion close to normal diffusion, while at lower temperatures, these two values diverge. We find reasonable agreement by comparing current and existing numerical, theoretical and experimental data. Moreover, when normalizing diffusion coefficients by the Einstein frequency and testing against the universal temperature scaling law, deviates from theoretical curves at low temperatures and , whereas only disagrees with theory at very small (). These findings provide valuable insight into diagnosing dust component parameters within 2D DP systems and contribute to the broader understanding of diffusion processes in DP environments.

Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
