Nucleation process of NaCl is reproduced by using molecular dynamics (MD) simulation. We carried out MD simulations in the 13824 ions system under the free boundary condition. Critical nucleus size and nucleation rate are directly estimated from simulation results without nucleation theory. We also carried out for the 13824 and 125000 ions systems under the periodic boundary condition to compare with the results of free boundary condition. All simulations are calculated by using the special purpose computer, "MDGRAPE-2", for molecular dynamics simulation.
