According to the Kosterlitz-Thouless-Theory two-dimensional solid films melt by the unbinding of dislocation pairs. A model including quenched random impurities was already studied by Nelson [Phys. Rev. B 27 (1983) 2902], who predicted a…
We find that crystalline states of repulsive active Brownian particles at high activity melt into a hexatic state but this transition is not driven by an unbinding of bound dislocation pairs as suggested by the…
In a recent comment, M. Kosterlitz described how the discrepancy about the lack of broken translational symmetry in two dimensions - doubting the existence of 2D crystals - and the first computer simulations foretelling 2D crystals at least…
By the adoption of a quaternion orientational order parameter to describe solidification, the topological origins of the thermal transport properties of crystalline and non-crystalline solid states are considered herein. Global…
Snapshots of colloidal particles moving on disordered two-dimensional substrates can be used to extract equal-time many-body correlations in their positions. To understand the systematics of these correlations, we perform Monte Carlo…
We study 2D solids with weak substrate disorder, using Coulomb gas renormalisation. The melting transition is found to be replaced by a sharp crossover between a high $T$ liquid with thermally induced dislocations, and a low $T$ glassy…
We consider the phase behavior of two-dimensional ($2D$)system of particles with an isotropic core-softened potential introduced in our previous publications. As one can expect from the qualitative consideration for the three dimensional…
Because of long-wavelength fluctuations, the nature of solids and phase transitions in 2D are different from those in 3D systems, and have been heavily debated in past decades, in which the focus was on the existence of hexatic phase. Here,…
Two-dimensional (2D) solid-liquid transition (SLT)~\cite{Mermin1966Absence,Mermin1968Crystalline,Kosterlitz1972Long} concerns fundamental concepts of long-range correlations vital to magnetism, superconductivity, superfluidity, and…
Despite about forty years of investigations, the nature of the melting transition in two dimensions is not completely clear. In the framework of the most popular Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless-Halperin-Nelson-Young (BKTHNY) theory, 2D…
Using video-microscopy data of a two-dimensional colloidal system the bond-order correlation function G6 is calculated and used to determine the temperature-dependence of both the orientational correlation length xi6 in the isotropic liquid…
The Berezinski-Kosterlitz-Thouless transition is a unique two dimensional phase transition, separating two phases with exponentially and power-law decaying correlations, respectively. In disordered systems, these correlations propagate…
We present a dynamical theory of a two-dimensional martensitic transition in an elastic solid, connecting a high-temperature phase which is nondegenerate and has triangular symmetry, and a low-temperature phase which is triply degenerate…
We report Monte Carlo results for the two-dimensional hard disk system. Simulations were performed in the NVT ensemble with up to 65536 disks, using a new updating scheme. We analyze the bond orientational order parameter and correlation…
We study the phase behavior of a system of charged colloidal particles that are electrostatically bound to an almost flat interface between two fluids. We show that, despite the fact that our experimental system consists of only $10^{3}$ -…
The melting transition in the hard-disk system is considered. Non-equilibrium relaxation analysis of the six-fold bond-orientational order parameter has been carried out. The critical point between the hexatic and the fluid phase is…
The flux line lattice melting transition in two-dimensional pure and disordered superconductors is studied by a Monte Carlo simulation using the lowest Landau level approximation and quasi-periodic boundary condition on a plane. The…
Using Brownian dynamics simulation, we study the orientational order in melting transition of colloidal systems with $'$soft$'$ Yukawa potential. The bond-orientational order parameter $\Phi_{6}$ and the bond-orientational order function…
We present a detailed numerical simulation study of a two dimensional system of particles interacting via the Weeks-Chandler-Anderson potential, the repulsive part of the Lennard-Jones potential. With reduction of density, the system shows…
We have performed Brownian dynamics simulations on melting of two-dimensional colloidal crystal in which particles interact with Yukawa potential. The pair correlation function and bond-orientational correlation function was calculated in…
