Molecular dynamics simulations were made of superionic ternary compounds of the form, AgxCu1−xI (x = 0.0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75 or 1.0). Using pair interatomic potentials of the form proposed by Vashishta and Rahman for metal iodides, a series of isothermal–isobaric simulations was performed. The diffusion coefficients of the cations were calculated from the mean square displacement versus time relationship.
