Short-time dynamics of the positional order of the two-dimensional hard disk system

Statistical Mechanics 2009-10-31 v3

Abstract

We investigate the positional order of the two-dimensional hard disk model with short-time dynamics and equilibrium simulations. The melting density and the critical exponents z and eta are determined. Our results rule out a phase transition as predicted by the Kosterlitz-Thouless-Halperin-Nelson-Young theory as well as a first-order transition.
