Abstract
The emergence and vanishing of superdiffusion in quasi-two-dimensional Yukawa systems are investigated by molecular dynamics simulations. Using both the asymptotic behaviour of the mean-squared displacement of the particles and the long-time tail of the velocity autocorrelation function as indicators for superdiffusion, we confirm the existence of a transition from normal diffusion to superdiffusion in systems changing from a three-dimensional to a two-dimensional character. A connection between superdiffusion and dimensionality is established by the behaviour of the projected pair distribution function.
